ChypreWhat does La Nuit (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it is chosen most often for evenings and nights out. In the character votes, feminine and classic lead.
The top opens fresh and spicy with myrtle, artemisia, lemon, cardamom and bergamot. In the heart, pepper, jasmine, rose and peach add a soft floral note. The base of civet, oakmoss, cedarwood, leather and patchouli turns it animalic, leathery and woody. Rochas Femme and Daniel Hechter Caractère have a close profile.
