What does Warm Black smell like?
Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick winter and fall, and evenings and nights out are the occasions it leans towards. Most voters find it masculine, though some read it as feminine.
Tobacco and vanilla form the core, with ginger adding a spicy warmth. The sweet, gourmand side dominates, while woody, resinous and smoky tones sit behind it, along with a slightly synthetic edge. Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille (Eau de Parfum) and François Delì Sweet Tobacco have a close profile.
