What does Day for Night smell like?

Patchouli and styrax lead at the start, and amber in the heart sets a resinous warmth that runs through the scent. Leather and musk sit underneath, and over time it settles into a creamy, powdery, oriental sweetness.

Longevity is good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin rather than filling a room. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind. Leisure, night out and evening get equal weight as occasions; it reads feminine to most voters, though a fair share call it masculine. Prada Marienbad and Phaedon Double Patchouli / Patchouli Indonésien have a close profile.
