What does By Night (White) smell like?

It opens with bergamot, Sicilian lemon and petitgrain, while coriander seed and black pepper add a light spicy edge. At the heart, orange blossom, rose and jasmine absolute lead, with violet and orchid softening the florals. The base turns gourmand and sweet through vanilla, benzoin and tonka bean, with white musk and sandalwood adding a creamy warmth.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters call it feminine, and no season clearly dominates, though fall sits slightly ahead. Leisure, evening and daily wear are chosen about equally. Réminiscence Macaron d'Amour / Dragée and Quintesscent Terra have a close profile.
