What does ennui_noir smell like?

It opens on lavender and myrtle, and at the heart cedarwood and heliotrope add a floral, powdery softness. In the base, vanilla sweetens the whole while patchouli and vetiver give it an earthy, resinous depth. A spicy, oriental feel runs through it.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters recommend autumn and winter, with summer far less favoured. It leans toward evenings, leisure time and nights out; voters read it as somewhat more masculine, though many call it feminine. Réminiscence Patchouli (Eau de Toilette) and Teufelsküche Scent of Orient have a close profile.
