What does Chypre Narcotique (Pure Parfum) smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. With no season or occasion votes, little can be said about when it suits best, but its woody, animal and floral build gives it a heavy, full character.

It opens with bergamot, yuzu, lily of the valley and pink pepper, so a citrus and green freshness comes first. In the heart, tuberose, jonquil, jasmine and rosemary form a floral body. The base of Papua oud, Bourbon vetiver, Tibetan musk and castoreum adds a woody, animal depth. Ensar Oud Aleesa's Garden and Rasasi Safina have a close profile.
