What does de Soir (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Aldehydes, peach, pineapple, blackcurrant and bergamot keep the opening bright and fruity, while green notes sharpen that freshness. The heart gathers lily of the valley, ylang-ylang, hyacinth, rose and jasmine into a wide bouquet. The base dries down on oakmoss, patchouli, vetiver and amber, joined by the animalic tone of leather and civet.

Its longevity is rated strong, and most voters say it lasts a long time, though the vote count is small, so this is only a first impression. The structure follows the classic chypre line and it is made as a women's fragrance. Capucci de Capucci and Lancôme Magie Noire share a close profile.
