CreamyWhat does Belle de Nuit smell like?
It opens bright with orange and rose, and the heart of nectarine, peach and raspberry adds a fruity sweetness. Vanilla and tonka bean turn that sweetness creamy and powdery, and sandalwood, iris and ambergris leave a warm, powdery base.
Voters rate both longevity and sillage as very strong, so a light hand may be enough. It is unisex in character. Aaron Terence Hughes Athena+ and Parfums de Marly Cassili have a close profile.
