About

Smart Black opens with a brief whisper of fresh bergamot and lavender before diving headfirst into a rich, spicy heart. Cardamom and cinnamon intertwine with earthy patchouli and aromatic sage, creating a complex, inviting warmth. The dry down is a gourmand dream, settling into a creamy praline and amber base, softened by musk and the dark, enigmatic touch of ebony wood and tolu balsam. It's a comforting yet sophisticated blend.
