Intense Black

Lomani · 2014

Fresh · Citrus · Green

Lomani Intense Black is a men's fragrance that moves from a bright opening of Calabrian lemon, Mexican pink pepper and Italian bergamot to a warm, smoky base of frankincense, sandalwood and oud. The opening leans on citrus and spice: lemon and bergamot keep it fresh while pink pepper adds a sharper edge. In the heart, Persian galbanum brings a green note, African nutmeg a spicy warmth and Atlas cedar a woody frame. The base of frankincense, musk, Indian sandalwood and oud ends on a resinous, earthy, smoky note. Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though the number of votes is small, so those impressions are tentative. With its fresh opening and oriental base, it reads as a masculine scent. Voters also rate its value for money highly.

Basile Uomo (2002)

7.7

Basile · 2002

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Basile Uomo (2002) is a fresh, green men's fragrance built around citrus and herbal notes, settling into a smoky, leathery base. It opens with mandarin orange, lemon and grapefruit, joined by basil, thyme, rosemary and lavender. In the heart, jasmine, carnation, cinnamon and nutmeg add a floral and spicy warmth. The base of frankincense, patchouli, oakmoss and leather leaves a smoky, leathery, woody finish. Longevity and sillage are moderate, though the small number of votes means these ratings are tentative. With its fresh fougère structure it reads masculine. Montana Black Edition and Jean Louis Vermeil Vermeil for Men have a close profile.
