What does Lumière Noire Homme smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, with evening and night out the leading occasions, though it also works for leisure and daytime. Most voters read it as masculine, though a fair share find it feminine.

The scent as a whole is fresh and floral, with rose sweetness folded into the spices and the green bite of mugwort staying in the background. Patchouli lays a woody, powdery base, and oriental tones add warmth to the blend.
