What does Insomnia smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick winter and fall, and it leans towards evenings and nights out rather than daily or office wear. More voters call it masculine than feminine, though a good share read it as feminine.

The top of chocolate, caramel and rum gives a sweet, gourmand start. Ylang-ylang and coffee sit in the heart. In the base, cedarwood, sandalwood, Tahitian vanilla and patchouli make it woody, spicy, creamy and slightly smoky. Kilian Black Phantom - Memento Mori and Initio Side Effect have a close profile.
