What does Nevermore smell like?

Aldehydes and floralozone give the opening a fresh, airy feel, with black pepper and nutmeg bringing the spice right behind. Two roses take the heart. In the base, Atlas cedar, amber and saffron settle it onto a resinous, earthy, slightly smoky ground.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall, followed by winter and spring, and it leans towards evenings, leisure and nights out. Voters read it as more masculine than feminine, though a fair share call it feminine. Caron Secret Oud and Sospiro Diapason have a close profile.
