What does Night Scented Stock smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Voters lean towards fall and spring, with winter close behind, and evening, leisure and daily wear are chosen in nearly equal measure. Most call it feminine and classic. It has been discontinued.

It opens with cinnamon and clove for a spicy warmth. The heart gathers violet, lily, ylang-ylang, jasmine and heliotrope into a powdery floral bouquet. In the dry-down, sandalwood, benzoin, tonka bean and vanilla sweeten it and settle it into a creamy warmth.
