What does Absolue Pour Le Soir (2010) smell like?

Sandalwood and Siam benzoin form the backbone, with Bulgarian rose honey sweetening the woody base and cumin adding a spicy, slightly animal edge. Frankincense absolute gives the whole a resinous, smoky depth. The oriental character dominates.

Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong. Most voters pick winter and fall, and evening or night out, while business and daily wear get very few votes. More voters call it masculine than feminine, though a fair share see it as feminine. Cologne Pour Le Soir and L'Innommable have a close profile.
