What does Poirier d'un Soir smell like?

It opens with a fruity sweetness from blackcurrant, pear and caramel, while Italian bergamot and lemon keep it fresh and citrusy. Turkish rose and peony add a soft floral heart. As it dries, birch tar, patchouli, papyrus and rum come forward, with ambrette seed and white cedarwood giving the base a smoky, woody finish.

Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring, fall and summer, and leisure and business settings are the most common choices. Voters are split between calling it feminine and masculine. Bois 1920 Paranà and Creed Aventus have a close profile.
