What does Nuit de Sable smell like?

Most voters recommend autumn and winter; evenings and nights out lead, and it is worn for leisure too. Its longevity and sillage are rated good. Votes split evenly between masculine and feminine, so it sits comfortably either way.

The top opens with a spicy trio of cumin, Guatemala cardamom and Indonesian nutmeg. The heart brings Rose oxide, Turkish rose absolute and sand, where the floral side becomes clear. The base of Australian sandalwood, ambroxan, musk and tonka bean absolute dries down creamy, sweet and woody. Ajmal Sacrifice for Her and Carner Rima XI have a close profile.
