What does Nightfall in the City of Kings smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are both rated good, so it stays on the skin and carries well. Most voters read it as masculine or modern, and few choose it for summer heat.
It opens with orange blossom, cardamom, carrot seed and peach. In the heart, cumin, clove, cinnamon and Turkish rose absolute build a spicy floral warmth. The base of patchouli, amber, vanilla and sandalwood leaves it resinous, smoky and faintly animal. Chabaud Ambre du Rêve and Maison Mona di Orio Nuit Noire have a close profile.
