What does Noisette d'Asie smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters give longevity a high score, though the vote count is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. There are no season or occasion votes, so nothing can be said about when it suits best.

It opens with chocolate, hazelnut and Thai oud. Amber, cocoa, tobacco and oud form the heart, and the base settles into almond, pistachio, date, raisin and cardamom. The overall impression is sweet, powdery and earthy, with leathery and animal tones kept in the background.
