What does Initial for Tonight smell like?

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good, though the vote count is small, so this is only a rough picture. With its sweet, spicy build, it reads as a masculine scent.

It opens with pink pepper, cardamom and juniper berry, fresh and spicy. In the heart, toffee and cinnamon bring sweetness, softened by Provençal lavender. The base of gaiac wood, cistus and tonka bean settles into a woody, creamy finish. Afnan Perfumes 9pm and Otto Kern Gentleman's Code (Black) have a close profile.
