What does L'Oiseau de Nuit smell like?

Most voters pick fall and winter, and it is chosen mostly for evenings and nights out. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. It is classed as feminine, though voters split evenly between masculine and feminine.

The top holds labdanum and bergamot, the heart patchouli and davana, and the base benzoin and leather. Sweet, gourmand tones meet a spicy, woody, resinous backbone, while the animal, earthy and leathery sides give it a rough, warm edge.
