The Scent: Notes, Structure & Dry-Down

Versace Pour Homme Oud Noir opens with black pepper, bitter orange and neroli — an assertive first impression that carries across a room.

It is built on bitter orange and neroli, and those are exactly what heat strips out first — which is why it reads best in cooler air.
