What does Dusk to Dawn smell like?

It opens bright and slightly bitter with Guatemala cardamom, Sicilian bergamot, French clary sage and Italian pomelo. In the heart, blond tobacco and leather come forward, while peony, cyclamen and lily of the valley soften the smoky side. The base of vanilla, myrrh, ambergris, patchouli, vetiver, papyrus and cedar turns creamy, resinous and woody.

Longevity and sillage are rated good, though from only a few votes. Its sweet, oriental, smoky character suits cooler weather, and it reads neither clearly masculine nor feminine. Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme Noir Ambré and J.F. Schwarzlose Berlin Leder 6 / Fetisch have a close profile.
