What does Cologne Pour Le Soir smell like?

The warm sweetness of rose honey leads, while benzoin and frankincense ground it in a resinous, smoky base. Gourmand and spicy accords meet woody, powdery and faintly leathery touches, giving a heavy, oriental feel.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, and favour evenings and nights out. Votes split almost evenly between masculine and feminine. Maison Francis Kurkdjian Absolue Pour Le Soir and LM Parfums Ambre Muscadin have a close profile.
