What does Nigritella smell like?

Green leaves, mandarin orange and bergamot open it fresh. In the heart, red nigritella, tuberose and jasmine carry the floral side. The base of vanilla, sandalwood and musk sweetens it, leaving a spicy, powdery, creamy woody-oriental tone behind.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind. Leisure and evening wear lead, though it also works for daily and business use. Armani Code Absolu pour Femme and Kenzo Kashâya de Kenzo have a close profile.
