What does La Colle Noire smell like?

Most voters pick spring and summer, with fall and winter further behind. Daily wear, leisure and business are the occasions named most often. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate; although the perfume is unisex, nearly half of voters read it as feminine.

The notes have no top, heart and base split, so the scent reads as a single whole. The rose brings a floral, green freshness, and the spices add a light warmth. Ceylonese sandalwood sets a woody base, while amber and white musk leave a sweet, powdery softness.
