What does Strictly Night smell like?

It opens with Pepperwood™, bergamot and black pepper, both bright and sharp. In the heart, cardamom, nutmeg and lavender soften the spice, while patchouli, tonka bean and vetiver settle it onto a woody, lightly sweet and smoky base. The balance between fresh and synthetic accords gives it a modern feel.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick fall, followed by spring and winter, and it is chosen about equally for office, evening and leisure. Most voters read it as masculine. Yves Saint Laurent La Nuit de L'Homme (Eau de Toilette) and Mäurer & Wirtz Tabac Original Craftsman (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
