What does Black Symphony smell like?

It opens with saffron, juniper berry and lemon, so spice and a sharp freshness sit together. In the heart, amber, black violet and leather take over, giving the scent a powdery, floral side. The base of raspberry, cashmere and vetiver dries down with a distinctly synthetic feel.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, though few people have voted, so these ratings are tentative. It is made for men and has a dark, spicy character. Majouri Jour 11 and Emir Sensual Saffron have a close profile.
