What does Unexplored Noir smell like?

Longevity and projection are both moderate: it neither dominates the room nor fades quickly. It is classified as a men's perfume.

Cardamom and pink pepper open with a spicy start. In the heart, cashmeran, iris, violet and pine tar build a powdery, smoky mood, while sandalwood, patchouli and caramel sweeten the base and add an earthy, resinous depth. Floris Islay and Olfactive Studio Chambre Noire have a close profile.
