What does Nuit Dorée smell like?

Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind. It leans towards business, leisure and daytime wear, and the feminine and masculine votes sit close together, which puts it somewhere in between.

Frankincense and orris absolute lead, giving a resinous, powdery opening. Patchouli forms the heart and carries the woody, earthy side. In the base, leather and honey take over: the leather brings dryness and smoke, while the honey sweetens and softens it. Hugo Boss Boss Bottled Absolu and Boucheron Oud de Carthage have a close profile.
