What does Noir d'Orient smell like?

It opens with bay leaf and frankincense, then moves into a heart of patchouli, clove, cinnamon and amber. The spices and resins build a warm, smoky mood. Sandalwood, rum and tonka bean in the base sweeten and soften it.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it is chosen most often for evenings and nights out. Feminine and masculine votes are almost even, so it reads as truly unisex. Evody Ambre Intense and Profumum Roma Patchouly have a close profile.
