What does Dark Night of the Soul smell like?

Both longevity and sillage are rated strong. Most voters pick winter and fall, with evening, night out and leisure leading and business well behind. Votes lean masculine, though a fair share call it feminine.

The scent is sweet, gourmand, spicy and woody, with animal, resinous, earthy, smoky and leathery accords alongside. Several oud types, amber, sandalwood, patchouli and vanilla absolute come forward, while cocoa absolute and plum add sweetness; castoreum and civet sharpen the animal side. Masque I-II Montecristo and Prin Anatolia Anatolia have a close profile.
