SmokyWhat does Nyctophilia smell like?
The notes centre on dry woods, Java vetiver and amber, with bergamot adding a thin streak of freshness and animalic notes giving depth. Cocoa absolute and amber carry the sweetness, while smoke and cypriol pull it toward a woody, resinous, spicy side. The overall impression is warm and dark with a slightly synthetic texture, the animal accord staying in the background. Vertus Auramber and Juliette Has A Gun In the Mood for Oud have a close profile.
