What does Grande Notte smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters recommend autumn and winter, with spring well behind. It leans towards evenings and nights out, though it also works for leisure. More voters read it as masculine, but a fair share call it feminine.

It opens with amber and vanilla, sweet and creamy. In the heart, tonka bean and Spanish labdanum add a resinous, powdery depth, and lavender leaves a spicy, woody edge at the base. The overall impression is warm and gourmand, with a slightly synthetic edge. Jo Malone Myrrh & Tonka (Cologne Intense) and Rabanne Invictus Victory Elixir have a close profile.
