What does Nuit Noire smell like?

It lasts strongly and projects well. Most voters pick fall and winter, and place it in the evening or on a night out. It is read mostly as feminine, though some voters call it classic or masculine.

Amber, tuberose, sandalwood, cinnamon and cardamom lead the blend. Leather and frankincense add a smoky, leathery depth, while tonka bean and musk soften it with a powdery sweetness. The spice and woody tones sit right alongside the floral side.
