SmokyWhat does Folie d'un Soir smell like?
It opens with pink pepper and Turkish rose, then moves into a heart of frankincense, resins and myrrh that adds a smoky, resinous weight. The base of leather and cocoa settles the sweetness onto a woody, powdery ground with a leathery edge.
Most voters pick fall and winter, and favour evening and night-out wear. Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most see it as feminine, with a classic feel as well. Its profile is close to Parfum d'Empire Cuir Ottoman and Parfums MDCI Cuir Garamante.
