What does Tilleul Friction de Nuit smell like?

It opens with lemon leaf, angelica and lemon water, giving a citrusy, green freshness. At the heart, linden blossom and cyclamen bring out the floral side. In the base, black locust, mint, vervain and hay sweeten it slightly and leave a powdery, spicy, woody trail.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, daily wear and the office are the most mentioned settings. More voters call it feminine, though it reads as unisex. d'Orsay Tilleul and Acca Kappa Tilia Cordata have a close profile.
