What does Rose Nuit de Mai smell like?

It opens with cinnamon and wild rose, the cinnamon adding a light touch of spice over the rose. At the heart, may rose, blackberry and violet meet, giving a fruity, powdery softness. The base of musk, sandalwood, vanilla and cedar closes it with a woody, gourmand sweetness.

Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Most voters pick spring, followed by fall and summer. Daily wear, leisure and the office come up most often, with evening and night out chosen far less.
