What does Nearly Noon smell like?
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring further behind. It leans towards leisure and daily wear, and most voters read its character as feminine and modern.
The heart holds roasted coconut, rice pudding and saffron, so the sweetness carries spice and a creamy softness. In the base, amberwood, vanilla and sandalwood dry it down warm, woody and powdery. Place des Lices Safran Gourmand and Fragrance Du Bois Santal Complet have a close profile.
