What does Noir Tropical smell like?

Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, though spring is not far behind. It leans towards evenings and nights out, and also suits daily wear. Voters read it as more feminine than masculine, yet it is classed as unisex.

Bergamot opens briefly and brightly. In the heart, heliotrope and almond add a soft, powdery sweetness. The base of bourbon whiskey, rum and vanilla settles into a warm, spicy, smoky and woody finish, with vanilla rounding everything off. Bois 1920 La Vaniglia and Alambar have a close profile.
