What does Nuits Impériales smell like?

Cherry, raspberry and Italian bergamot give the opening a fruity brightness, softened by almond. In the heart, iris, Bulgarian rose and lily build a floral base, with liquorice adding a sweet trace. The base is led by Bourbon vanilla, tonka bean and sandalwood, while sugar powder and heliotrope carry it into a powdery, creamy warmth.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters recommend fall and winter, though spring and summer are not far behind, and leisure and evening wear come out on top. Most voters find it feminine, and a fair share call it modern. Guerlain Oud Nude and Aerin Tangier Vanille have a close profile.
