Club de Nuit Intense Woman

In everyday terms

Rich rose and saffron over warm woods.

Rose

Fresh red roses, like a wedding hall bouquet

Saffron

Warm and honey-like, a bit like the inside of a brand-new leather bag

Geranium

Rosy and minty-green leaves

Nutmeg

Warm spice, like ehuru (calabash nutmeg) in pepper soup

Pepper

Freshly ground pepper, like the kick in pepper soup

Violet

Sweet and powdery, like old-school violet sweets

Caraway

Warm, slightly sharp seed, like rye bread

Patchouli

Earthy and dark, like damp soil in a forest

Vanilla

Sweet and creamy, like vanilla ice cream or custard

Oud

Deep, smoky oud, like the turare and bakhoor burned in Hausa homes during Sallah

Amber

Warm, sweet and resinous, like soft incense glowing in a room

How it wears

In Nigerian heat, most perfumes project more but fade faster. Spray some on your clothes to make it last longer.
