Jasper Conran Nightshade Man

There are surprises and then there are pleasantly shocking revelations. Nightshade Man, based on its price (this was a steal at 28 euros) and performance reveals something of great quality and performance. Sometimes fragrances of this price are grilled for having muddled notes and sub par performance, but here we get something great that breaks the stereotypes of cheaper frags. Now with all this being said, Nightshade Man is not a unique scent, this resembles Fan di Fendi pour Homme pretty closely. This is not a bad thing, because Fan di Fendi is a great scent! Citrus, cardamom, cloves, a strong patchouli and a solid musky, amber base gives Nightshade its character. Even if this character is borrowed from an already fantastic model in Fan di Fendi (a fragrance I own and adore as well, they are similar but with a discerning nose you can tell the differences). Another reason this fragrance stands out is a perfectly rendered musk in the base. Nightshade Man is fall evenings in a bottle. A good amount of sprays and this juice performs like a champ for a solid six to eight hours. Nightshade Man is office safe and perfect for the twenty-five and up crowd. When the temperature is dropping as fast as the leaves, it is time to give a few good sprays of Nightshade Man before you hit the streets.

Well, this has surprised me, I didn't think it would be this nice. This is delicious. It's very like Fan di Fendi Homme. It starts sweet and fruity with some amber and a hint of booze. Dries down a touch smoky and mellow with a tobacco vibe in the silage. Nightshade Man smells gorgeous and the longevity is moderate with a fairly decent silage. I'm really glad I bought this and it's good value too. Jasper Conran has brought out a little gem here and it smells a lot more expensive than what it costs. I've bought some more - very pleasant EDT.

Top notes are so fresh,prob the grapefruit & bergamot. The saffron notes give a honey like aroma,sweet but very masculine. Dry down is just amazing,loads of patchouli & musk. A very sexual fragrance! Very long lasting. I do like matching body products,so far there is just a shower gel (which will prob be included in Xmas coffrets). For the price,this is a unique & alluring fragrance,I have all the other Jasper Conran fragrances & this one is the best so far. Def worth seeking out.

For the price of less than 30usd/100ml this is a steal. I have the hyped Fendi di Fendi and this one in my humble opinion is better. Good performance with strong projection for 1-2hrs. Perfect colder weather scent.

A lovely smoky amber. This is how to make a winter fragrance without the sweetness and dreaded vanilla. I hope they make it forever, but it will probably end up as a discontinued classic.
