What does Lumière Noire pour Femme (Extrait de Parfum) smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind, and it is chosen mostly for evenings and nights out. Most voters read it as feminine, though some call it masculine.

Rose, narcissus and vanilla absolute build a floral-sweet base, while cumin and pimento sharpen it with spicy warmth. Patchouli and musk add a woody, earthy depth. Green, animal and resinous tones sit among the accords, giving it a dark, oriental character.
