Noir Premier - Élégance Animale 1989

Most voters pick autumn and winter, though spring is not far behind and summer is rarely chosen. Evenings, nights out and leisure time lead the occasions. Longevity and sillage are both rated good, and masculine and feminine votes are almost evenly split.

The top notes are geranium, peach and saffron, with the peach adding a sweet, fruity edge. In the heart, gurjum balsam, rose and jasmine form a floral body. The base of sandalwood and leather leaves a woody, animalic warmth. Guerlain Santal Royal and Birkholz Iconic Oud have a close profile.
