What does Eleventh Hour (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

The top is Nepalese sichuan pepper and bergamot, so it starts fresh and green. In the heart, rum, wild fig and carrot seed bring a fruity, gourmand sweetness. Cashmere wood and tonka bean settle it into a soft, woody base with a faint smokiness.

Longevity is good and sillage moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it is chosen most for leisure time, evenings and nights out. Votes for masculine and feminine are close, so it sits evenly between the two. Nest Indigo and Kilian Apple Brandy on the Rocks have a close profile.
