OrientalWhat does Noir Epices smell like?
It opens with orange and geranium, a fresh, citrusy start. At the heart, nutmeg, pepper, clove and cinnamon bring the spice forward. Patchouli and sandalwood settle it onto a woody, oriental base.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and evening and night out lead the occasions. Votes for masculine and feminine character sit close together. Diptyque L'Eau de L'Eau and The Merchant Of Venice Fenicia have a close profile.
