What does Nocturnal Poetry smell like?

Most voters recommend fall and winter, with spring not far behind, and evening and night out are the occasions it is picked for most. Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Slightly more voters call it masculine, though it reads as unisex overall.

The notes read as one whole: jasmine and damask rose absolute lay a floral base, while tobacco and hay absolute, leather, cumin and coffee pull it towards a spicy, earthy tone. Beeswax, frankincense, myrrh and oud add a sweet, resinous, woody warmth, and civet and castoreum leave an animal trace.
