What does Angélique Noire smell like?

Angelica root and seed, together with pink pepper, give the scent its green, floral and spicy side. Vanilla sweetens it into a creamy, powdery gourmand texture, and cedarwood leaves a woody base underneath.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind, and it is chosen most often for evenings and nights out. Although it is unisex, most votes read it as feminine. Kilian Let's Settle This Argument like Adults, in the Bedroom, Naked and Maison Francis Kurkdjian Ciel de Gum have a close profile.
