What does Nocturno Elixir smell like?
Sandalwood leads the opening, with amber in the heart. Labdanum and woody notes dominate the base. The accords pair a fresh, citrusy lift with a sweet, spicy and creamy warmth, while smoky and leathery touches stay in the background.
Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good. The season votes are evenly spread, though most voters lean slightly towards spring and fall. It suits daily wear and the office, and works at night too. About half of voters find it masculine. Prada Babylon and Tom Ford Amber Absolute have a close profile.
