Nuit Rouge

To my nose this fragrance starts quite floral (this quality might be the rhubarb) and somewhat sour. It actually sort of reminds me of cannabis. It dries down quite quickly to a slightly more warm and resinous whole, and it gains some sweetness too. At this point i'd say the juice starts to open up the most; it's very slightly spicy, and i find it very complex. It's a scent that seems quite foreign or exotic to me, but strangely enough all the more relaxing. As it dries down it gets less floral (rhubarby?) and more resinous and comforting, eventually, like a small campfire reduced to glowing embers, fading into a skin scent with a little hint of sweet resin to keep you warm. For me, this scent really seems to work, and i think it smells seductive, intricate and quite unique. Longevity i'd say is somewhere around average, but i'd like for it to last longer than it does (especially the heart and base) Best use would maybe be a date or a night out on the town? Idk, you can decide that for yourself, you're a person with a free mind :) . So to put an end to this ramble of a post, i'd rate Nuit Rouge 8 to 8.5/10 Not a blind buy though, definitely try on skin first. Worth a sample.

I really don't know where to start here... Ok, this is a woody spicy with super-trendy top notes. I smelled the woody-tonka-vanilla core accord basically in 90% of niche and designer fragrances currently available on the market but, beside that, the whole fragrance is a complete deja-vu. It smells somewhat nice if you're fine with sharp top notes and sweet woody bases but, seriously, smell this blind and you won't be able to tell it apart from most of the stuff overpopulating the fragrance market. With that said, the problem here is not that Rouge Noir feels like a *copy* of something else. It more simply feels like someone has opened a perfumer's text-book and assembled a woody-spicy doing a pretty good job. It's well done, it smells competent but, in the end, it doesn't standout. Meh. Rating: 5/10

This fragrance opens like cannabis to me. Reminds me of Aedes de Venustas Eau de Parfum Aedes de Venustas. The same kind of murky cloud, exept Nuit Rouge is more floral and gourmand and Aedes de Venustas is more fruity. It is pleasant and perhaps even little edgy, but warm and cozy at the same time. More feminine then masculine. It was gone from my skin way too quick, 2 hours or so. I didn't feel like this fragrance brought something innovative to the fragrance world. Not too bad but not great either.

Sweetened rhubarb up-top with saffron and leather beneath, this thing gets your attention. It smells a little like a mashup of the first Aedes scent crossed with something like Matriarch’s Blackbird. There’s a druggy kind of narcotic quality to it that lends it more personality than the Aedes, but it still lacks character in the bigger picture as it just smells too much like other things. Not awful, but hardly memorable—it’s a bit of an olfactory identity crisis.
