Holds up through the day and fades gently toward evening.

CreamyWhat does Lys Noir smell like?
It opens with black pepper, and its heart gathers tuberose, narcissus, lily and heliotrope into a powdery, creamy floral bouquet that leans sweet. The base of sandalwood, ebony, patchouli and musk adds an oriental warmth.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it suits evenings and nights out best. Most see it as feminine and classic. Initio Rehab and Prada La Femme Intense have a close profile.
