What does Noir Gabardine smell like?

Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind and summer clearly the least chosen. It is favoured most for evenings and nights out, though daily and office wear get votes too. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Voters read it as more feminine than masculine.

It opens with Persian galbanum, Sicilian citrus fruits, green mandarin orange and Calabrian bergamot, giving a green, lively citrus start. In the heart, Australian sandalwood, rosewood and Chinese ginger add a woody, spicy warmth. The base of musk, tonka bean, amber and vanilla settles it into a sweet, oriental finish.
