What does Étui Noir smell like?

It opens bright with elemi resin, tangerine and Italian bergamot. In the heart, Moroccan orris butter adds a powdery softness, while styrax and incense bring smoke and cashmere wood sets the woody ground. The base joins leather, labdanum absolute, amber, patchouli and birch in a sweet, spicy and smoky warmth.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and nights out and evenings lead the occasions, with leisure wear close behind. It leans slightly masculine, though many voters find it feminine. Paglieri Florentia and Morph Montmartre have a close profile.
