What does Début by Night smell like?
It opens with a bright fruity freshness from Paraguayan bitter orange, bergamot, pear and lemon. Orange blossom, rose and water lily give the heart a soft floral body. In the base, vanilla and raspberry sweetness settles over cedarwood and patchouli, turning creamy and powdery.
Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and spring, and name a night out or leisure time as the occasions. It reads feminine and classic. It has been discontinued.
