What does Nuit et Confidences smell like?

It opens with a bright citrus lift from Italian bergamot and Italian mandarin orange. In the heart, orchid, frankincense and Madagascan black pepper add a spicy, faintly smoky edge to the floral core. The base of musk, Bourbon vanilla and Brazilian tonka bean turns it powdery, creamy and sweet.

Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with evening and night out leading the occasions, though it also works for leisure. It reads mostly feminine. Aerin Tangier Vanille and Acca Kappa Vaniglia Fior di Mandorlo have a close profile.
