What does Noctem Arabs smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn, followed by winter, and night out and evening wear stand out. Most voters read it as masculine.

It opens with Indonesian patchouli, cedarwood and tobacco. In the heart, oud, honey and myrrh sweeten it and add a resinous, earthy depth. The base of ambergris, musk and sandalwood leaves an animal, woody warmth. Its profile is close to Black Hashish and Gladiator Oud.
