What does Le Chypre du Nil (2018) smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and spring, and it leans towards leisure and evening wear. Voters mostly read it as feminine, though a fair share find it masculine.

It opens with elemi resin, vermouth, Calabrian bergamot and pink pepper, which give a spicy freshness. In the heart, rose and iris are softened by dried fruits. The base of patchouli, suede, white musk and ambergris settles into a powdery, earthy warmth. Givenchy Dahlia Noir and Guerlain Patchouli Paris have a close profile.
