Tres Nuit Lyric

Armaf is not my favorite fragrance company. Except for the CDN limited edition, I never was a fan of their "synthetic" scent and their "none individualistic" approach to their products. Tres Nuit was too synthetic in opening even though after 3 minutes, it resembled GIT very well. Couple of weeks ago, I walked into my local fragrance retailer and saw Tres Nuit lyric on the shelf. Thinking it would be another BR540 clone, I asked to sample it. Instead on my skin, I asked to have 3 sprays on my shirt. Instantly, I recognized the scent as Profondo. A bit sweeter but definitely it was Profondo. I didn't get the whiff of synthetic scent from it so which I was quite impressed knowing this was armaf product. After shopping with wife for 6 hours (ridiculously long indeed), I came home and when I took my jacket off, I could still smell the Profondo. Even my wife asked me if I used ADG. That's a solid 7 hours since I had Tres Nuit lyric sprayed. As a Proud owner of Profumo and profondo, I know for sure my OG ADG don't last longer than 6 hrs even in my shirt. I was so impressed with the performance alone, I went back and purchased it next day for $28 Canadian (all inclusive). That's around $20 USD! Now I own something that I can literally overspray myself for this summer and next summer as well. I usually use Hermes Eau de D'orange and/or Hermes Voyage for summer. Sometimes I use issey miyake which I only have about 20ml left. ADG lines are my summer office use only but with Tres Nuit lyric, I have something I can use liberally without thinking about $$$. Impressive performance even though it only has about 2 feet projection, little sweeter, and not as smooth as OG ADG, this is what I would consider Profondo twist that had good performance and good quality (surprisingly from armaf) at very very reasonable price. Great surprise find for me.

This is the first time that I've done blind buy without knowing even the notes of the fragrance, during last days of 2020 when it released. I saw Joy Amin's review on YouTube, searched on internet, was around 19 euros and just I ordered it! Wore it 2-3 times in first days of 2021 and put it in a drawer, forgot about it, and never used again. Don't get me wrong I liked it, but somehow my hand never gone back to it. Anyway let's analize what I've got and what I remember after two years for this fragrance... To my nose it consists of three parts, which are quite clashing each other imho (maybe that's why I didn't use it again). First part is the aquatic part and yes it resembles to Acqua di Gio. The second part is the "butter candy" or the "milky wibe" which reminds me the musky/white summer colognes (let's say Guerlain Ideal Cologne for example). The last part is the spicy part and yes it's extremely spicy for a summer cologne! Maybe I lost my mind but here the spices reminds me the spicy part of Paco Rabanne One Million! Do you remember the "mosquito repellent" spicy-woody wibe of the first formulation from 2008? That's the spices of Tres Nuit Lyric Man! So all in all it's nice but weird combination... It's much more modern from the original Tres Nuit. Although it sits close to the skin (EDP) the longevity is absolutely fantastic! Easyly 9-10 hours with heavy trigger (don't hesitate it's cheap). A really crowd pleaser and compliment getter (not that I'm interested), I got asked two times in my first day of wearing (with heavy apply). Who knows maybe I will wear it again this summer and update my experience here, cheers! :)

Yeah, this one’s definitely meant to be Profundo with a twist. It’s a little sweeter. I almost get a little bit of a lemon candy sort of vibe from it. I don’t know if I exactly agree with the Light Blue Eau Intense associations I’m seeing here, but I definitely see where they’re coming from. I would say that the quality of the notes isn’t great. It does come off as fairly synthetic and doesn’t reach the level of quality that Profundo does, but that’s always to be expected with Armaf. I think that this is definitely worth getting at around the $25 level, but no more than that. If you’re wanting an excellent Profundo alternative (although not a clone), I would get Chrome Extreme. If you’re wanting a decent cheap citrus fragrance then this is a pretty good one. EDIT: I think I may have undersold this one originally. It's actually quite good and has a lot going for it. The longevity is fairly impressive and I've gotten some compliments for it, if that's something you're looking for. Still pretty synthetic, though.

Never smelles ADG Profondo, but if I have to say what TN Lyrics is similar to.....well to me, it's kind of mix of this and that. You know. Blue? For sure. I had enough of blue. Tired of if I may say. But this one just done right. It's like Bvlgari Aqua Atlantique + D&G Light Blue + Essenziale Blu + ADG. I guess....?? I enjoy it for sure. My lady complemented it like she never did for other frag before. Even asked me to wear it "tonight", if you know what I'm saying... haha So... Blue. Versatile. Room filling. Projects like mad (at least on my skin. Even with just one spray. Serious) Day. Night. Warm weather, heck yes. Cold weether, yes as well. Great great great value for the money. Signature worthy. Back up bottle worthy. Such a satisfaction for me.

So I have both Profondo and Armaf Tres Nuit Lyrics (ATNL). In a way, it's smell similar to Profundo but not as perfect as Profondo. It has that sea notes, sweet, citrus smell but longevity and sillage aren't on par compared to Profundo. It lasts 2-4 hours on me while projecting around arm length. I'm a fan of Profundo but can't afford to use it daily. Tres Nuit Lyrics is a much better value, similar perfume for daily. I received compliments from the gym and hair salon using this. Out of my Armaf Club De Noit Intense, Sillage, Milestones, and this, Tres Nuit Lyrics is my favorite but I wish the longevity and sillage are as good as Intense. The opening is great, no harsh chemical smell, just smooth soft sea notes then follow by floral.
