Notturno

I tested this in my local perfume shop, so I don’t have much experience with this fragrance. What I can say is this did smell pretty great and I considered buying a bottle. Although I did not, as I was on a quest for something else at the time, this is something I will check out sometime in the near future.

This is an interesting one, I don’t smell citrus at all, it’s more of a comforting vanilla mixed with a touch of oud and sweetness and warm bourbon. Reminds me of Penhaligons Jasmine just a little lighter. Definitely unisex and more could see it wearing all year along

Bought this from a grey market discounter for 70% off of RRP and I'm glad that I did, as it was a blind buy that I deliberated on over several weeks and overall the conclusion that I can too, is that Notturno, smells like a lot of oud based fragrances that are currently in trend. I really should have known better but had hoped for something a bit more unique but instead got that trademark "burning, plastic rubber smelling kind of oud with florals. And the most annoying thing about it is that I can tell that the materials are really good quality but the oud just spoils this for me. However, if you are in the UK and you wear niche fragrances, you will definitely get plenty of bang for your buck with this in terms of performance for at least a solid 4-5 hour's.
