What does Civet de Nuit smell like?

It opens with heliotrope and aldehydes, then moves into a heart of ylang-ylang, night-blooming jasmine and civet. The base leans on musk, castoreum, styrax, benzoin and labdanum. The overall impression is sweet, powdery, creamy and resinous, with animalic and leathery tones beneath that softness. The floral heart slowly deepens into a darker base.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and evening and night-out wear lead. Masculine and feminine votes sit close together, so it reads as open to both. It has been discontinued. Pierre de Velay No. 23 and Francesca Bianchi Under My Skin have a close profile.
