What does For Him Black Edition Intense smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays noticeable through the day without filling a room. It is classed as masculine. With no season or occasion votes, it would be wrong to tie it to a particular time of year.

The top holds black pepper, chili, cardamom and grapefruit, the grapefruit softening the sharpness of the spice. The heart brings mastic, sage and orange blossom, and the base holds patchouli, cedar, pistachio, sandalwood and labdanum. Fresh, spicy and woody accords dominate, with sweet and powdery sides in the background. Bugatti Fashion Performance Red and Real Time Kindlooks Man have a close profile.
