What does Nuits Indiennes (2013) smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind. It is chosen mostly for evenings and nights out, and it reads as feminine and classic.

It opens with bergamot, mandarin orange, lemon and ylang-ylang, a bright, fruity start. In the heart, violet, jasmine and rose add a floral, powdery softness. In the base, patchouli, vanilla and sandalwood close it with a sweet, spicy, oriental warmth.
