Noir

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and spring, with winter not far behind. It is chosen most often for evenings, though business and leisure wear also get votes. It reads feminine.

It opens with cardamom and petitgrain, then turns floral at the heart with jasmine, rose, iris, osmanthus and ylang-ylang. The base of ambergris, patchouli, labdanum, musk and oakmoss pulls it towards a woody, earthy and slightly animalic tone. Lancôme Magie Noire and Clinique Aromatics Elixir have a close profile.
