What does Nuits Indiennes (1993) (Eau de Parfum) / Indian Nights smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and evening or a night out; daytime and office wear are chosen less. It reads feminine and classic.

It opens with bergamot, mandarin orange, lemon and peach, a bright fruity start. The heart brings rose, jasmine, ylang-ylang and heliotrope, and the flowers settle into a powdery, sweet base. In the dry base, vanilla, amber, sandalwood and musk lead, while civet adds an animal warmth.
