What does Ad Noctum smell like?

Amber, labdanum and fir balsam form a resinous base, which tonka bean and vanilla sweeten. Oud and ebony add an earthy, woody depth, while castoreum and musk bring an animal warmth. Brandy gives the sweetness a spicy, smoky edge. The overall impression is dense and heavy, with a synthetic sheen.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, and every voter on longevity rates it high. The number of votes is small, so these ratings should be read with caution. It reads as masculine, and its heavy build suits cooler weather and evenings.
