What does Sultane Noir Velours smell like?
It opens with bergamot, mandarin orange and mimosa, a fresh and fruity start. In the heart, rose, jasmine and heliotrope bring out the floral side with a soft, powdery touch. The base of musk, tonka bean and cedar sweetens the scent and dries down woody and oriental.
Voters rate its longevity and sillage as moderate. Most pick autumn and winter, while few choose summer. It suits leisure, evening and daily wear, and most voters find it feminine. Lancôme Poême and Xerjoff Jebel have a close profile.
