Typically, these scents feature rich, spicy notes like ginger, cinnamon, or clove, paired with earthy elements such as patchouli, sandalwood, or smoky incense. Dark florals, like black orchid or rose, can add a gothic elegance, while hints of leather or woods create a haunting, long-lasting impression.
