What does Une voix noire smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind, while summer gets very few votes. Evening and night out lead the occasions, and business wear is the least chosen. Most voters read it as feminine, though a fair share call it masculine.

The notes read as one whole: tobacco, gardenia and rum. Floral and fruity accents bring the sweetness, woody and resinous accords add weight, and smoky, spicy tones give it a warm, oriental feel.
