What does Oriental Essence - Nuit à Marrakech smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick fall and spring, with summer not far behind. It is chosen mostly for leisure, work and daily wear, and less for evenings or nights out. Most voters find it feminine, while some read it as masculine.

It opens with citrus notes, green tea and amber. In the heart, mimosa, frangipani, saffron and cashmere wood join floral and spicy sides. The base of patchouli, musk, cedarwood and sandalwood dries down woody and soft.
