What does 1996 - Inez & Vinoodh (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out; masculine and feminine votes sit close together, so it reads as in between.

Black pepper and juniper berry give a spicy start, while violet and iris bring a powdery floral heart with leather adding a leathery edge. The base of vanilla and black amber is sweet and resinous, with patchouli adding an earthy, smoky tone. Byredo Baudelaire and Tom Ford Noir (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
