What does Live by Night smell like?

Its longevity and sillage both rate as good, and just over half of the voters find the staying power high, though the sample is small. It is positioned as a men's fragrance with an evening feel.

The opening pairs the fresh, fruity grapefruit and bergamot with the bite of pink pepper. In the heart, cinnamon, saffron and chili bring sweetness and spice together. The base of leather, vetiver and tobacco gives it a smoky, leathery footing. Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb and Reyane Tradition Insurrection II Dark have a close profile.
