What does La Petite Robe Noire Rose Noire smell like?

Most voters pick fall and winter, while spring and summer sit well behind. It leans towards evenings and nights out, though business and daily wear also get votes. Longevity and sillage are rated good, though the number of votes is small.

Damask rose absolute and rose lead the scent; blackberry adds a fruity sweetness, and tonka bean and liquorice bring a soft, gourmand warmth. Leather and black tea pull that sweetness towards a dry, slightly powdery tone. Yves Saint Laurent Parisienne L'Essentiel and Guerlain La Petite Robe Noire Ma Robe Hippie-Chic have a close profile.
