What does Une Nuit à Doha smell like?

The opening spice of anise and ginger is softened by the sugary, fruity mandarin. In the heart, Corsican immortelle and Haitian vetiver give a woody, faintly floral backdrop, and the base of tobacco and vanilla leaves a gourmand, smoky, resinous warmth.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. Voters split almost evenly between masculine and feminine. Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille (Eau de Parfum) and Zara Warm Black have a close profile.
