What does Authentic Night Man smell like?
The top notes of rhubarb, lotus and apple give it a fruity freshness. In the heart, tonka bean and vanilla sweeten it and add a creamy softness, while lavender brings a spicy edge. Oakmoss, ambrox and leather sit in the base, leaving a powdery, slightly synthetic finish.
Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick fall, followed by spring and winter, and evenings and nights out lead the occasions. It reads masculine and modern. Câline Très Jolie and Afnan Perfumes 9pm have a close profile.
