What does Amour Nocturne smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind, and it is favoured most for evenings, leisure time and nights out. Voters read it as slightly more feminine, though it sits comfortably as a unisex scent.

It opens with labdanum, white orchid and aldehydes. The heart brings beeswax, cedarwood, gun powder and fig milk, and the base of caramel, vanilla, charred wood and heliotrope sweetens as it dries. Gourmand sweetness and woody smoke keep each other in check.
