What does Soir d'Orient smell like?

It opens with saffron, Persian galbanum and Italian lemon, the lemon brightening the saffron's warmth. In the heart, Turkish rose absolute, Madagascar pepper and Egyptian geranium add a floral, spicy line. The base of Indonesian patchouli, Somalian frankincense and sandalwood grounds it in earthy, smoky tones.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, with evening and night out leading. It reads feminine, though some find it masculine. Rose Anonyme and Rêve Ottoman have a close profile.
