What does Fleur Noire smell like?

Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters recommend autumn and winter, though spring has a following too. It leans towards night-out and evening wear, with leisure use close behind. Nearly half of voters call it feminine.

It opens with black gardenia, mandarin orange and bergamot, a citrus brightness that gives way to flowers. In the heart, orchid, jasmine and ylang-ylang dominate, with lotus wood adding a soft woody touch. The base of sandalwood, frankincense, vanilla and patchouli settles into a sweeter, creamier finish.
