OrientalWhat does Zukhruf (black) smell like?
Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick evening or a night out, with daily, leisure and business wear getting some votes too. It reads masculine.
It opens with cinnamon, black pepper and nutmeg, lifted by grapefruit. The heart brings woody notes, iris, coffee and lavender, and the base of vanilla, sandalwood, amber and liquorice settles into a sweet, warm finish. Zimaya Khafaya (blue) and French Avenue Enigma Une have a close profile.
