Noctambule

7.2

Givenchy · 2022

Floral · Synthetic · Spicy

Givenchy Noctambule is a unisex scent that sets a floral opening against the darker tones of spice, smoke and oud. Its longevity and sillage are both rated good, though the number of ratings is small, so those values are only a rough guide. There are no season or occasion votes, so nothing can be said about them. It leans neither masculine nor feminine and sits firmly in unisex territory. The top notes are Grasse rose and pink pepper, with the rose sharpened by the spice. Papyrus root in the heart lays down a dry, woody ground. In the base, cumin and Malayan oud take over, adding a smoky, resinous, oriental depth. Powdery and synthetic touches stay in the background.

In the base, leather, oakmoss and patchouli take over, and the dry-down turns woody and leathery. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate.
