What does L'Insomnuit smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring further back and summer the least chosen. It leans towards evenings and nights out. Feminine and masculine votes are close, so it reads as truly in between.

It opens with plum, bergamot and fir balsam, a fruity, fresh start. Oud and orris sit in the heart, adding a floral, powdery touch. The base of sandalwood, tonka bean, cedarwood and cypriol settles into a creamy, spicy, smoky warmth. Cartier Oud & Santal and Giorgio Armani Eau de Nuit Oud have a close profile.
