Black & Silver Omerta

Regardless it is supposed to be a dupe of Armani Black Code, in my opinion it has nothing to envy to it. In some ways it's a clean and soapy interpretation of a spicy scent with a touch of citrus and leather. There is such a sense of intimacy and elegance surrounding this fragrance, making it rather formal in a way, like something you'd perhaps wear when dating someone.
At the very first spray the lemon reaches your nostrils, so clearly and zesty, stronger than the bergamot. Then, a bit of star anise and a lot of olive blossom, which is a wonderfully unique additive to the composition, brings with it an interesting saltiness which is quite enchanting on the skin. Afterwards, there is a powdery like aspect to this fragrance that tends to develop more towards the drydown. Do not fear, it's a manly powderiness, nothing like sweet, flowery baby powder or anything like that. I surmise, but I am not sure, that tonka and tobacco offer that powdery aspect. Last but not least, the leather. This is the base note I like most. It's a kind of scent you smell when you wear a brand new leather's jacket.
It is a fragrance suitable for office and leisure time, best for cold seasons like fall and winter, maybe during evening and night out it gives you the best. You know what? I cannot take my nose off of it.
