What does Cologne Nocturne smell like?

It reads as a citrus cologne first, with thyme and rosemary coming forward soon after. Clary sage, rosewood and cedarwood give it a woody backbone, while patchouli and amber soften it a little and the spicy notes stay in the background.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it leans towards leisure, business and daily wear. Nearly half of voters read it as masculine, though it keeps a unisex cologne character. Acqua di Parma Colonia Essenza and Milano Cento Milano Cento have a close profile.
