What does Night Call smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage is good as well, with most voters giving the longevity a high score. It doesn't lean toward either gender, so men and women can wear it equally well.

It opens on roasted sesame and ambrette seed absolute. In the heart, patchouli absolute and beeswax build a woody, creamy base. In the base, roasted tonka bean, benzoin and styrax carry it into a resinous, oriental sweetness, with a smoky edge in the background. Its profile is close to CinisLabs Amber and Xerjoff Black Moonlight.
