What does Nychta smell like?

It opens with cumin and pink pepper laying a dry spice tone over the rose. In the heart, ylang-ylang, saffron, black pepper and amber pull the floral structure in a warm, oriental direction. The base brings vanilla sweetness, softened by patchouli and musk.

Longevity is rated good, though the small number of votes makes that a tentative reading. It suits men and women alike; with spice and vanilla weighing heavily, it feels more at home in cool weather and in the evening. Montale Crazy in Love and La Perla Just Give Me Roses have a close profile.
