What does Pluie Noire smell like?

Aquatic notes and iris lead, while juniper berry and sage add a dry, spicy coolness. Egyptian geranium carries a floral greenness and elemi resin gives a woody, resinous depth. The overall impression is aquatic and green, with a faint synthetic brightness.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick spring and fall, with summer not far behind. It leans towards leisure and evening wear, and although more voters read it as masculine, a good share find it feminine.
