What does Black Tag smell like?

Citrus and green accords set the first impression: the brightness of grapefruit and bergamot meets a light peppery spice. Vetiver lays down a woody base, while vanilla and musk add a sweet, powdery, creamy softness. A slightly synthetic sheen runs through it.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Voters don't tie it to one season; spring, autumn and summer are chosen almost equally. Daily wear, leisure and the office come up most often. Most see it as masculine and classic. Sonia Rykiel Rykiel Man and French Avenue Arsh have a close profile.
