Holds up through the day and fades gently toward evening.
Leaves a light trail and stays polite in a crowd.

CreamyWhat does Cargo de Nuit smell like?
Longevity and sillage both rate as good. Most voters pick spring and fall, with summer and winter not far behind. Leisure, daytime and business are the most chosen occasions. Masculine and feminine votes are almost even, so it leans neither way.
It opens with musk and aldehydes over mineral and woody notes. Ambroxan and coumarin form the base. The fresh, synthetic start turns sweeter, with a woody, spicy side coming through.
