What does Pinnace Noir smell like?

It opens fresh, citrusy and lightly fruity with lemon, bergamot, apple and orange blossom. The heart turns spicy and warm with clove, cinnamon, rosewood and geranium. In the base, cedarwood, sandalwood and vanilla sweeten it and give it a woody footing.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick autumn and spring, with winter close behind and summer less favoured. It suits nights out, evenings and workdays. Its profile is close to Hugo Boss Boss Bottled Intense and Boss Bottled.
