What does Nights In White Satin smell like?

It lasts well and projects at a moderate level. Most voters pick spring and autumn, with summer close behind. Leisure, night out and evening come first, and it works for business too. Although it is unisex, about half of voters find it feminine.

It opens with tuberose, jasmine and osmanthus, a bright floral start. In the heart, vanilla, rose and lactone add a soft, milky sweetness. Vetiver, cedarwood, white musk and ambergris form a woody, lightly spicy base.
