Midnight Noise

8.4

Ghawali · 2022

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

7.7

Birkholz

Fresh · Floral · Fruity

6.5

Giorgio Armani · 2007

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Spicy and oriental touches show up now and then, while the synthetic and animal accords stay in the background. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it lasts through the day without filling the room. The number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide.
