What does Chelsea Nights smell like?

Saffron and cocoa absolute open with a sweet, spiced weight. In the heart, oud, tuberose, cedarwood and myrrh build a woody, resinous body. The base of vanilla, suede, patchouli and amber softens it, leaving an oriental, slightly leathery and at times synthetic character.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and night out and evening wear lead the occasions. Masculine and feminine votes are level, so it sits between the two. Parfums de Marly Haltane and Rabanne 1 Million Golden Oud have a close profile.
