/ 10 community score
Black Sugar by Korres receives mixed reviews primarily focused on its weak performance despite appealing scent qualities. The fragrance develops into a pleasant caramel and violet skin scent but lacks the longevity and projection expected, typically fading significantly within 2 hours of application. Community members appreciate its gourmand-amber character but express disappointment with its performance limitations.

- Interesting gourmand-amber profile appealing to oriental lovers
Weaknesses

- Limited projection makes it difficult to enjoy throughout the day
