What does Nuit Velours smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, and most voters score both highly. It is described as a women's scent with an evening character. The number of votes is small, though, so these impressions should not be taken as settled.

Mandarin orange with black and pink pepper gives a light fruity, peppery start. In the heart, violet and rose bring a floral, powdery face, while creamy notes and vanilla sweeten and soften it. The base of Indonesian patchouli, musk and sandalwood leaves a woody depth. Esteban Rêve Blanc and Van Cleef & Arpels Santal Blanc have a close profile.
