What does Somnia 517 smell like?

Voters rate both its longevity and its sillage as good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out, though it also gets worn for leisure. On character, feminine leads, with masculine a clear second.

The top is bergamot, the heart holds Spanish cistus, frangipani and jasmine, and the base brings black amber, cashmere wood and vanilla. The floral and fruity core softens into a sweet, gourmand, creamy base, while spicy, woody and resinous touches add warmth in the background. Ex Nihilo The Irreverents and Agonist Say Yes have a close profile.
