What does Nuance Noir smell like?

Voters rate both its longevity and its sillage as good, though the number of votes is small, so this should be read with caution. There are no season or occasion votes, so nothing can be said about when it suits best; it is worn by men and women alike.

Raspberry and peach give the opening a fruity edge, spiced by nutmeg. In the heart, leather, vetiver and cedarwood build a woody, earthy base, while iris adds a soft floral note. Musk, frankincense, sandalwood and vanilla settle into a creamy, oriental warmth at the end.
