What does Lei Noire / Lady Noire smell like?

The top holds Calabrian bergamot, mandarin orange and white pepper, while the heart brings together Turkish rose, lily of the valley, apricot and wild jasmine. In the base, Comorian vanilla, white musk and sandalwood sweeten the scent, and patchouli adds an earthy depth. Powdery, woody and oriental tones also run through the accords.

Its longevity is rated moderate, though that view rests on only a few votes. The character is feminine, and it suits anyone who likes warm, sweet, powdery fragrances.
