What does Black Tag Intense smell like?

Black pepper and bergamot open it sharp and lively. In the heart, leather and cedarwood take over, and the woody, leathery character settles in. Amber and suede soften the base, where the sweet, resinous side dominates and a slightly synthetic sheen remains.

Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind; summer is the least chosen season. It leans towards night outs, leisure and evenings, though it also gets votes for daytime and the office.
