Ellie Nuit

What a gem! I do not know why it rates so low here when the few reviews agree with me that it is a very special scent. I have bought this perfume three times in the small (8 or 10ml I think?)roller ball bottle because the price for a full bottle was always out of range. Now that I'm completely out of the last precious drops of this gorgeous beauty I would give almost any price to find a full bottle but no matter where I search it is gone gone gone. I'm not great at describing notes but I can say that I've never smelled it's equal. I wish there were even a dupe that could get me in the neighborhood of what this perfume offered. Ah well, better to have loved and lost...

Like ELLIE perfume, ELLIE NUIT offers an eccentric and unexpected line-up of notes. Unfortunately, also like ELLIE, ELLIE NUIT is not for me a very pleasant wear. In this case, the veritable wall of coriander and the thick bushel of violet leaf and fig leaf really smother the rose, with the effect that, to my nose, ELLIE NUIT ends up smelling too masculine. I don't have a problem with wearing masculine fragrances, in general, but I find this one somehow jarring and uncomfortable to wear. You really have to love coriander to be able to appreciate this perfume. My sense with ELLIE NUIT, as it was with ELLIE, is that there was too much emphasis placed on originality in the composition of this perfume. Yes, it smells like nothing else. But maybe that's for a good reason? ELLIE NUIT is probably an acquired taste, but I won't be acquiring it. Désolée. (Or perhaps I should be happy that I can cross this obscure niche house off my list?) I must confess that traces of this perfume smell rather nice on HRH Emperor Oliver's fur. I therefore can recommend ELLIE NUIT for testing by all male cats!

What an interesting perfume! I'm not quite sure how to describe it. It has a very fresh haylike top note that softens out into something very close to dark chocolate. Underneath all this is a very unmistakably "perfumy" undertone which is not unpleasant but a bit weird with the overall vibe. The only word I keep returning to is "interesting".

I really like this perfume. It’s very different and not your usual floral. It dry down to a soft powder scent but not like old lady powder. It does have a little chocolate smell on me but not jumping out just mild. Sillage is close to me on skin. Longevity not too bad. I happy I have this. It’s a very feminine scent. Try it

This is an amazing interpretation of roses.They are bitter, smoky,spiced, dark roses. Definitely a floriental, with good sillage and great lasting power.The whole composition is built around the rose, but the main accent is bitter herbal/may be because of the fig leaf and coriander/.Luxurous, mature perfume.
