What does Bois Satin smell like?

Most voters pick fall and winter, and it is chosen mostly for nights out and evenings. Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate. It leans feminine in character, though it is classed as unisex.

Amber, vanilla and patchouli build a sweet, resinous base throughout. Saffron adds a spicy warmth, while suede gives a leathery, smoky softness. Rose and jasmine keep the floral side powdery, and Sicilian mandarin orange lightens the richness a little.
