What does Night Shadow smell like?

The top notes are amber, saffron and birch wood; the heart brings rose, musk and amber. The base settles on lavender, musk and ambergris. The accords pair a floral, sweet structure with oriental and leathery tones, plus a faintly synthetic touch.

Voters rate both longevity and sillage as good, though the number of votes is small, so the picture is tentative. Being unisex, it reads comfortably on both men and women. Lattafa Rouat Ajial and Lattafa Maahir have a close profile.
