Moonlit Night

#1272 in my "Tour de Fragrance" It is my great honour to be the first to review this excellent quality note-for-note dupe of Dolce & Gabana's "Luminous Night" which was on the market here for five minutes, then taken away from us. Bastards! Literally some of the best perfumery D&G has ever done and they couldn't give two @#$% about keeping it on the US market. As usual, Fragrance World to the rescue. Solid dupe. Moderate performance, as expected in this excellent price point,. Fresh, creamy, smooth, mildly sweet, but not gourmand. Car pool, elevator, small office safe. My hot model friend Rebecca gave it her approval an hour ago. Now we can only hope Fragrance World will duplicate the rest of the series for us, "One Mysterious Night" and "One Royal Night." I for one am waiting breathlessly.

@JusttheFactsMan.....is speaking facts. I left my review of this one over on the Luminous night's page a year ago since this one hadn't yet been added. I've tested both side-by-side. Insane how good this is. And, honestly, the longevity gap isn't as pronounced. The OG maybe gives me an hour or two more on skin. For about $20. A good pick up.

I bought this one last June and it was a very pleasant blind buy. It's very strong in the opening projection but it settles into a personal bubble after 30 minutes, give or take. Longevity is really good, but people will only get it up close. Great purchase for cool weather and nights out.

My female coworker told me that I smelled "radiant" when she walked into my office. Lovely stuff!

Fragrance World's Moonlit Night is one of many fragrance clones that of late have taken on the limited release or discontinued fragrances. Moonlit Night is a clone of The One Luminous Night. I know for some this is wrong as people who got their hands on it feels cheapened by it. I get that, but then people either a didn't get it in the initial run or b ran out or running low. Moonlit Night is very spicy yet sweet up top. I get some citrus and pepper but I get a good amount of the candied sweetness of the date. The mid produces some geranium with the date. The base is more sweetness from the amber with some smokiness and woodiness from the sandalwood. I find the Moonlit Night lasts quite a while. It lasts 8 hours, not too different to Dolce&Gabbana The One For Him Eau de Parfum. In fact I would say that Moonlit Night smells not that far off The One for Him Eau de Parfum in particular. If The One Luminous Night smelt like The One Eau de Parfum but with a candied fruit smell, you got it. Moonlit Night is a bit more limited in use than The One Eau de Parfum or The One due to the candied sweetness. It works in winter but can work in colder fall nights. Moonlit Night in its own get a 7.8 out of 10 from me. I can't rate it for how close to Luminous Night it is. Luminous Night was rather low in supply especially in America. I don't know why some people look down on clones of these exclusive or fragrances that only last say a year before getting discontinued since it was a limited release or special edition.
