What does Club de Nuit Private Key to My Dreams smell like?

The opening is fresh and sharp, with cardamom, pineapple leaf, black pepper and pink pepper. In the heart, lavender, orange blossom and apple add a floral lift; the base of vanilla absolute, patchouli and leather turns creamy, gourmand and slightly animalic, while vetiver and cedarwood keep it woody.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though the vote count is small, so treat those ratings as tentative. It reads comfortably on both men and women as a unisex scent. Yves Saint Laurent La Nuit de L'Homme (Eau de Toilette) and Parfums de Marly Layton have a close profile.
