What does Tendre Est La Nuit - obscur smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it is worn mainly for evenings and nights out, with leisure wear close behind. Summer and the office are far less common.

The top holds cabreuva, ambrette, Corsican immortelle and carrot, and the heart adds benzoin, davana and Sichuan pepper for a warm, resinous spiciness. The base is dominated by labdanum, frankincense, leather, civet and castoreum, while patchouli and oakmoss deepen the smoky, earthy, leathery character.
