What does Fancy Nights smell like?
It opens with bergamot and Egyptian papyrus for a light, fresh touch. In the heart, Bulgarian rose, Indonesian patchouli and night-blooming jasmine lead, with the patchouli adding an earthy depth to the flowers. The base of vanilla, sandalwood, amber and oakmoss settles it into a sweet, powdery, resinous warmth.
Most voters rate its longevity and sillage as good. It is recommended mostly for fall and winter, and for evenings and nights out; most see it as feminine. Prada Prada and Miller Harris L'Air de Rien have a close profile.
