What does Nuit d'Issey Pulse of the Night smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and evening and night out lead the occasions. Most voters read it as masculine, with some calling it modern or classic.

Spices and frankincense open it, then cashmeran, patchouli, tonka bean and labdanum turn the heart warm and resinous. The base holds vetiver, leather, sandalwood and vanilla, and it settles into a sweet, gourmand, slightly smoky woodiness.
