What does Intense Starry Nights smell like?

The notes read as one whole rather than split into top, heart and base. A fresh, citrusy brightness meets the floral side, while the accords add spicy, oriental, earthy and smoky shades. Leathery and chypre touches darken the balance, and there is a synthetic edge as well.

Longevity is rated good and so is sillage, though the number of ratings is small, so these values are only a rough guide. Being unisex, it can be worn by anyone. Nicolas de Barry La Reine Margot and Rasasi Arba Wardat (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
