Liquidnight

This opens with a bang strong, zing of lime and lavender, with a slightly smokey incense accord reminiscent of CdG Zagorsk (smells nothing like it BTW) but has that fresh pine/fir thing from the hinoki and a church sort of a vibe. Peppery wood and with something of the carming meditative zen about it. The dry down is laid back and woody. I'm an incense lover(whatever that means?) and this instantly delivers a hit so don't be perturbed by this luke warm appraisal because I'm going to wear it properly a couple more times and update my feelings. Initial thoughts are positive. Next wear.... This is my second wear and I'm in love with Liquidnight it somehow does evoke the night to me. It's not a quiet peaceful night in the countryside but a sexy night out in a bustling metropolis, complete with a slight smokiness of exhaust fumes. Don't let that description mislead, this is a smooth, aromatic beauty which for a split second evokes the leather and magic of Clive Christians C or TF Tuscan leather. It must be the hinoki wood which makes this fragrance such a winner. I recently got to smell hinoki in its pure form and it's gorgeous! Starts out a little resinous and heavy but with such a light touch all the same, then into the drydown comes a greener more woody quality and still odd hints of lime from the long forgotten top notes. Liquidnight is a magnificent fragrance, complex, elegant, masculine I love it and I'm really tempted to get a bottle because I'd wear it a lot! Latest....I bought a bottle and I absolutely adore it a great fragrance this one!!!

Yes, this is *definitely* suitable for a woman - and a man. Perfumes don't discriminate no matter who they're marketed towards. With that out of the way ( :p ) - this is BEAUTIFUL! Lime, Lavender, Incense and Sage. Yes, the other notes are there and they do evolve as time goes on (for instance the musk becomes more prominent once it's been on the skin for an hour or more) - but those four notes I mentioned are there from start to finish, and it's a long ride :) This seems to last a good 8 hours or so on my skin. 'Fresh Spicy' is a perfect way to describe this absolutely gorgeous scent. It's Spring here at the moment and this is Heavenly - I can also see this easily working in Winter. The incense brings a sweet (but NOT a girly sweet, more a Balsamic sharp sweetness) note to this perfume...and it tends to come and go on me throughout the day. Projection is fabulous (especially when a breeze rolls in) - Lonegevity as I've said is great...I think I'm falling hard for Liquidnight! I MUST have a full bottle of this. Thank you to the lovely Fragrantica member who sent me a sample.

I had a tester which had no lasting power, it was a bit softer in the whole profile. Got lucky and scored a bottle. What a game changer. Lasts easily 8 hours. Not a beast mode fragrance. It was not intended to be that way. This perfume is herbaceous, zesty, woody and a bit sweet and smoky....A walk through the forest recounted by your memory. Unfortunately for me, the fog in my home city is crazy. You can't even see the buildings in front of you. But it fits the mood of the fragrance. An unknown terrain, a foggy memory. Very gothic. Absolutely beautiful. I even asked my mom her thoughts on my fragrance, which I never do, since she doesn't like my signature fragrance. She had told me that this scent is quite familiar to her. Didn't know the brand but the profile was something of the past. Something hanging the tip of her tongue

Ah! This one is a gem. Can't say I expected to like this, but I ordered a sample just because the name sounded rather cool to me :) I am a fan of woody frags with vanilla in them,and this is one of the best I've tried so far, reminds me of Musc Ravageur, but this is more mysterious, perhaps because of the incense. It does not project as much as MR though, which is perfect for me because I mostly prefer my scents close to me. longevity is really good, I still get whiffs on my clothes even after a day. I have never been to NY city, but if that was the inspiration for this, then I must say it just got bumped up to the top of my list of places to visit!!!

A pungent and mysterious,the initial notes make their way towards a really beautiful vanilla and hinoki wood together, quite foggy and nocturnal. A particular parfum that I will certainly buy, evocative and also a little nostalgic,ideal for some evening, a walk in the city etc... I feel the incense in a clear way as if it were always present, the vanilla is well calibrated and not very sweet thanks the wood, sage and lavender that soften the vanilla sweetness. Also this scent surprised me, i like it very much!!! Sillage: 7.5/10 Longevity: 8.5/10 Scent: 8.5/10 Overall: 8.5/10

This is my heaven. After an insane blind buy, weeks en route shipping (I’m deployed), and me obsessively smelling my wrists all morning I’m embarrassed to say I finally figured out why I’m in love with Liquidnight. It’s Memo Irish Oud’s little brother. I love MIO but for $750 a bottle I cannot justify owning it. Liquidnight is satin sheets in a cabin after a cool rain. It’s the slight smoke from the small fire in the fireplace. It’s the afterglow with salty skin that still smells of vanilla from the shower. Clean vanilla. Own this. Make it yours. It does turn heads.

I never thought I'd like a perfume with lavender and sage in it this much... But I do. I like this masculine, somewhat mysterious, intriguing and quite addictive perfume. I love breathing its aroma of citrusy, vanillic, herbal smokiness. Νοt necessarily on me, since I tend to prefer scents with a more feminine vibe, but definitely on a man close to me. Liquidnight is alluring and fascinating. It's simple yet poetic. It's a work of art. Full bottle worthy, it gets 9/10 from me.

variazioni sul tema dell' Iso E Super, miscela sintetica che restituisce aromi legnosi/muschiati/floreali qui uniti ad un tocco di incenso e un vago sentore di zafferano. a me piace molto, sono un chimico, questo effetto di odore di laboratorio misto ad un che di profumato, lieve, che non si allontana mai dalla pelle. non è troppo originale (vedasi le proporste di escentric molecules et similia) ma per me è veramente notevole.

Fresh and woody. I get tons of lavender mixed superbly with the hinoki wood. It's got a zesty feel to it with light incense and a touch of vanilla for sweetness. It's not a silage monster but longevity is excellent. I don't get a Gucci vibe as Gucci is woodier and best for colder temps and is very masculine. Liquidnight is more of a light woody scent that can be worn by both sexes all year round. It's a masterpiece IMO!

Now this is what I call a wooden dream. Slight spice vanille base. It has a Tom Ford Oud wood vibe going on as well. That's the first fragrance that came to mind, of course it has the vanilla spice vetiver base as well, it's a fragrance of its own. The citrus top makes this a great warm weather choice though I would say it's a signature scent all day 9/10 Great and worth checking out

This is such a mysterious, evocative fragrance. Smoky and crepuscular, it's a solitary nighttime walk outside. The vanilla adds just a touch of warmth. This is woody, aromatic, and sweet, but it isn't as cloying and heavy as woody-incense scents tend to be. It's gorgeous as-is, but also layers nicely with simple florals for a slightly more femme twist.

Love this stuff. Mix l'air du desert marocain with comme des garcon 2 man, and you'd have this. It's a dry - semi sweet scent. The minimalistic approach by A Lab on Fire is right up my alley. Love the smell, love the design - awesome. 7/10

EASILY one of my favorite perfumes. Probably top three. It is everything I love and nothing I don't. It is amazing from beginning to end. I love this!!

Liquid Night could easily be a popular high-end designer fragrance intended for the fall and winter. It has a modern feel and an immediately appealing quality to it along the lines of La Nuit de L'Homme, Allure, or Spicebomb. It definitely seems like an evening fragrance that could be worn in either casual or romantic situations with equal success. It opens sweet and spicy with a touch of lime. I've noticed that Saffron can often create a 'bubblegum' effect (for example, in Spicebomb), and this is exactly what I get beneath the peppery top. So the opening is spicy (peppery to my nose, though pepper is not listed as a note), and sweet with a marked bubblegum flavor. As Liquid Night settles in after about 10 or 15 minutes, 4 distinct notes emerge: Hinoki Wood, Incense, Vanilla, and Musk. Hinoki Wood lends a crisp, almost lemony cedar quality to the fragrance which tempers the sweetness well and blends smoothly with the spicy top. It prevents the fragrance from becoming overly sweet and is a welcome addition. The incense is middle-of-the-road (not too ashy, not too smoky) and combined with the vanilla it really helps round out the fragrance. I like the fact that the parfumeur chose a medium to light bodied incense here as it maintains a certain levity, or upbeat quality that could have been ruined by a heavier choice. After all, this seems like a fragrance designed for a social night out--not a night of dark, contemplative brooding! Beneath everything, the musk gives Liquid Night that final, romantic edge, melding the fragrance with your skin and pushing it just a bit to the mysterious side. This is not a demanding fragrance, but it's appealing and is actually pretty interesting. There's excellent play between the notes and the inclusion of Hinoki wood makes it unique. In addition, it has a smooth radiance, characterized by a warm transparency which never feels heavy or cloying. If you're looking for a spicy, woody, vanilla-based fragrance to wear in the evening when you go out, that's easy to pull off but still unique, you should definitely consider taking a look at Liquid Night.

Since there are so few reviews, I thought to throw in my two "scents." As a gourmand lover by trade, I had to really flirt with this one before I bought the bottle on impulse. It's truly far off the beaten vanilla path...or is it really? The hinoki wood is the dominant note, weaving in and out over my 13 hour day. This fragrance is wonderfully complex in its development and dry down as the woody, sharp, icy notes soften gradually into a tree-sap amber/vanilla. The lime opens strongly, then sinks into the smoky hinoki wood. I'm not sure about projection, but I smell this one all day and night. It's a fragrance I still hate to love as it keeps pulling me back in.

Unisex that's slightly more masculine but neither gender would be awkward wearing it. The vanilla is stronger in the opening but it's tempered a bit with something else in the fragrance that takes it very quickly from a sharp, sweet vanilla, to a much more subtle mix. While vanilla stays the main player, it more equally shares the stage with the other players at it progresses. On the drydown, I smell more of the hinoki wood and a bit of musk but little incense. I don't pick up the sage or lavender that's supposedly in the mix. Bottom line: Subtle woody vanilla with a slight bit of musk.

Hinoki. Where in the world has this wonderfully fragrant wood been hiding for so long? Add some incense sticks, a lime wedge and powdery vanilla. And what you have is the opening to Liquidnight. I'm hooked. Liquidnight reels me into the drydown with hints of citrus and clean white musk. Unique and charming, I highly recommend you try this, especially if you enjoy semi-sweet, complex woody scents.

Okay, I'll make this short : starts out very sweet, opens with a slightly spicy "chewing gum" (?) note and within the first half hour turns more woody and a little smoky, but still sweet-ish. I also get hints of Vanilla in the mix. Very high quality stuff I think. It's a definite like, but I couldn't see myself wearing this regularly.

The first couple wearings I really fell in love with it but now I find it's falling short of what I would like it to be. I feel that maybe it needs more Incense so going to try and find a great incense oil to mix up a little batch and see if I'm right or not.

Actually this one I'm quite happy I didn't buy as it smells great on paper but on my skin just a simple lavender, incense smell with heavy ISO E super... Not good!
