What does CK One Night Essence smell like?

It begins with shiso leaf, cardamom and iris, giving a fresh, spicy and powdery start. At the heart, patchouli, suede and Keemun tea add a slightly leathery, creamy body. In the base, sandalwood, amber and musky notes settle in, and the sweet, woody side takes over.

Its longevity and sillage are rated as moderate. Voters lean towards winter, spring and fall, and pick it most for leisure, daily wear and evenings. It reads a little more masculine, though modern and feminine votes are far from rare. Prada L'Homme Intense and Zara Extreme 9.0 have a close profile.
