What does Moonstone Noire smell like?

It opens with smoky notes, and a woody base forms in the heart from cedarwood, balsam and vetiver. The base holds amber notes, vanilla, white oud and Saffiano™. Vanilla brings sweetness and a creamy texture, while the oud pushes the spicy, resinous and animal tones forward.

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so the picture is not firm. It is a dense, warm profile that sits comfortably on both men and women. Perfumes with a close profile include Roja Parfums Parfum de la Nuit 1 and Fragrance World Incense Alchemy.
