Noctambule

This line from Givenchy is only available in very few stores in the UK so not many people will have the opportunity to smell them, which is a shame as they are all truly gems. It’s unmistakably a rose fragrance first and foremost but the oud gives it weight and depth, making it lean slightly more masculine. It’s Turkish delight at the end of a banquet in a Middle Eastern palace. At just under £300 it’s very expensive but imo more balanced and elegant when compared to other rose forward scents at the same price point. I’m so pleased I tried this before I bought le sables roses. Much more superior.

This smells like jo malone s velvet rose oud mixed with l autre oud de lancome. Its dark and woody, yet sweet and rosy. Leans a little feminine but a confident man with the right outfit could totally rock this

I love the way of easy to wear Rose&oud that not too intense like other rose&oud designer fragrace that full with ambroxinide or ambermax really well blend.

I love it, too bad its performance is poor.

Full wear (Brought, USD 180) I have worn this one time and I do get a compliment. Actually, a lot but it is understandable. Noctambule is barely be the "Oud - Rose" fragrance. In early year (that using a lot of Thick new way amber). Noctambule, is Ambroxan / dark woody with Spicy and Rose fragrance. The oud accord in this leans woody, the new way oud. You may find this kind of oud in late release fragrance. This is very modern fragrance and I can see that sexy wine-like masculine rose being centric of the scent. When it hits the dry-down, the soft Mineral tone. That they use in MMW show up slight noticeable. Cumin(?), they is soft bite undertone which soft b/o undertone, it desire to be melt on to your skin. The scent develop in peaceful page, good for stable use. Mass appearing and compliment-gather. Another safe fragrance to wear. ===== Noctambule Givenchy (Store test, skin test) Noctambule is modern take on Rose - Oud scent. The base accord of La Collection Particulière seems to be rather modernize material. It is soft metallic to my nose, clean, hyper sharp. Oud in this, I would categorize as soft oud fragrance. What I do like is soft sweet wine at t at the back and this leans more woody, sexy airy woody rose and oud. I don’t find this style in Rose-Oud fragrance before Easy to wear, unisex but sharp on both gender. 8/10
