What does Kill the Lights smell like?

It opens with juniper, artemisia and davana, a cool, herbal, slightly bitter start. Pink pepper, hay and leather carry the heart, and it settles into the resinous, smoky warmth of gaiac wood, mastic and birch tar. A floral accord is present but stays behind the green and leathery side.

Most voters pick fall and winter, with evening and night out the favoured occasions. Longevity and sillage are both rated good. More voters read it as masculine, though it is unisex. Naomi Goodsir Nuit de Bakélite and Yosh Sombre Negra have a close profile.
