Scent Depot Score™

7.1/10

Very good

Strong category choiceCrisp bergamot and herbal‑spicy angelica open quickly, moving into a heart of patchouli and coumarin (tonka) before settling into a smooth woody‑amber base shaded by soft musk. Expect moderate longevity and sillage per large community aggregates (not a room‑filler), with best results in cooler weather or evening wear.

More Information

Key strengths

Community‑validated performance that’s dependable but not overpowering (balanced office/evening utility).
Modern, polished amber‑musk style with powdery refinement, aligning with Fragrantica’s main accords.

Things to know

You want a very loud projector; community sillage points to moderate performance rather than beast mode.
You prefer the fresher lavender DNA of other Luna Rossa flankers; Black notably omits lavender.
