What does Création de Minuit smell like?

The opening pairs the brightness of bergamot and green apple with the sweet fruit of blackberry. In the heart, belle de nuit flower, heliotrope, black rose and ylang-ylang build a floral, powdery body. The base of plum, white musk, cedar and vanilla closes it on a creamy, lightly woody sweetness.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick spring and fall, though summer wear is not unusual. It leans towards leisure, daily wear and the office. Its profile is close to M. Micallef Ananda and La Rive My Delicate.
