What does Noir Aphrodisiaque Paris smell like?

It is built on the sweetness of chocolate, cocoa absolute and tonka bean. Cinnamon and cypriol add a spicy, woody edge to it. Jasmine carries the floral side, while tolu balm and Australian sandalwood bring a creamy, powdery softness; bergamot, citron and patchouli stay in the background.

Both longevity and sillage are rated good. Voters pick it mostly for evenings, leisure time and nights out, and rarely for summer. By character it leans slightly feminine, though many call it masculine. Lalique Satine and Electimuss Mercurial Cashmere have a close profile.
