What does Nuit Imperial smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin without filling a room. It suits both men and women, though the number of ratings is small, so these figures are only a rough guide.

The top pairs the citrus of bergamot, Italian lemon and mandarin peel with coffee. In the heart, cardamom, Indian sandalwood and patchouli add a spicy, oriental feel. The base turns sweet with musk, amber, vanilla and chocolate, while Moroccan orange lightens it a little.
