J'Aime La Nuit

I've worn this intermittently for about 12 years. For some reason, I forget how much I like it. But the instance curiosity has me reaching for it, suddenly I'm immersed in a world of embarrassing juvenile infatuation that makes me blush admitting it. This is a much better scent than is suggested by some on Fragrantica. Brimming with intrigue, it is a fascinating mix of modernity and something curiously old. The pear note is like a juicy William (Bartlett in USA) pear. It combines flawlessly with the orchid and jasmine for a coherent if abruptly "heady" sweet fusion. Settling and warming on my skin, a deep and dreamy briar-rose floral beauty is revealed. It lasts hours and projects well. It's on my clothes for days, noticeable in the wardrobe, but also the family wash basket. The dark glass bottle works well with the contents and manages to add to the ambiance of mystery. J'Aime La Nuit conjures images of majestic gardens in the style of the Victorians and Edwardians with fountains and statues; of secret liaisons and brief dalliances beneath rose-laden arbors. But something else too: J'Aime La Nuit embodies an alchemistic enchantment that brings to mind Whitby's mysterious and elegant lady goths in all their beguiling if idiosyncratic beauty, promenading on the arms of their handsome steampunk beaus. So, don't be surprised if on the stroke of midnight you've enticed your very own Ichabod Crane to your boudoir. For the femme fatale within us. Perfection! 🧛🏻♂️💗🧛🏻♀️

I wish La Perla would re release this fragrance together with the bodylotion and the shower gel. Had I known this would be discontinued, I would have stocked up. In a few words this perfume is : seductive, mysterious, sexy, playful, a little naughty, a little reckless maybe even sometimes, but above all : remaining classy and bathing in luxury. I absolutely LOVE this perfume and I remember so vividly that the body lotion was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING too. Not only did I smell like my body just had a bath in the actual eau de parfum, but it was amazing skin care too! Very hydrating and even that glossy wet effect! So good!! I have ordered the body lotion waaayyyyyy overpriced... but for the glory and for the dream, one last time. I am also reordering the MASTERPIECE eau de parfum, I absolutely Leo it and after all those years without it I still remember how epic it was. It might not have been as complex as some other perfumes, but it was mysterious and sensual, fun and sexy on every level. Even with some luxury on top. I wore it in 5 star venues proudly and it made me shine ^ ^ Can't wait to receive them in the mail! As far as I know, there have been no re-formulations. This was just part of the J'aime series. Unless you know something that I don't know? If so feel free to correct me. All I know is : I know what I'm wearing on the evening of Valentine's Day ;)

I've been a member here for several years, and have never written a review. I have owned this perfume for a while, and really didn't have much of an opinion about it until last night. I gave this perfume another try, and I love it! I came back to read the reviews and see why I probably bought it. Looks like a lot of people think it smells like euphoria? Hmmmm. I'm sure that's why I bought it, based on the reviews. However Euphoria is my signature scent, and I don't smell Euphoria in this perfume at all. But it is a very lovely scent. It's slightly sweet, slightly floral, and very very powdery on me. Which is fantastic! I've always wanted a powdery scent, and never seem to smell powder in the fragrances that are listed as powdery. LOL something in my body chemistry I guess. But this one on me is very powdery and gorgeous!

I love J'Aime La Nuit!! It is a bit similar to Euphoria, which I adore - and I adore J'Aime La Nuit (I love saying that name!!!) tooooo!!!! It's gorgeously dark and mysterious, seductive and magical. It's beautiful, and has hidden depths, secrets!!! Beautiful, sweet and rich, beautifully floral and lush. Beautiful, just beautiful!!! It's one of my favourite scents, and I love the lovely dark bottle. Dark and deep and serious - solid and sure of itself, like the perfume. It has wonderful longevity and gorgeous sillage, all just perfect!!!! I am always receiving compliments too, and I wear it a LOT!!!! My husband loves it too. We both adore it!!! It's VERY sensual!!! WONDERFUL!!!!

I got a sample of this with my most recent beautyspin.com order. This is a hypnotic brew! It is dark and mysterious with that euphoria vibe running through it. As soon as I sprayed it, I concluded i had smelled it before- this was the drydown of Calvin Klein Euphoria on my skin. At about the 10-15 minute mark it also reminded me of Nest Midnight fleur for its sweetness. A very nice ambery perfume that I could see myself reaching for quite frequently. It wears consistently and for a good 4-6 hours close to skin. It mellows out into a very smooth amber reminiscent of Banana Republic Rosewood.

This is some sexy stuff! Beautiful from every drop. It is sweet but defiantly no teenagers perfume kind of sweet it is so very rich & full in smell, it lacks nothing. The first spray is the best wow. It was a blind buy and have no regrets it is nothing like its boring sister J'iame les fleurs. I would say if you come across it give it a try this could easily be a signature scent. It is beautiful that is what makes it so sexy. Sweet, sexy, comforting just a few words to wrap it up, love it!

it's sweet spicy fragrance ,i love it so much it's the sweet version from euphoria, i adore ck euphoria and i fall in love with this scent really any one love ck euphoria and Dior midnight ...that scent will be the third night scent for her or like "melia" said , with me in the first i smell jasmine and turned to spices and a little bit sweet the surprise is the freshness effect in that spicy perfume , i think it will be good in spring or summer ...Amazing :)

The opening is intoxicating, I adore it. The drydown is quite similar to CK Euphoria, I understand the comments saying this. I find this one more interesting and more "serious" than Euphoria, Euphoria I find more youthful and princess-y whereas this one is saying "I am the queen". Edit: It's 3 months later and I am so happy that I scored a bottle of this, though it's a tester without the cap, but now I have enough of this one for a lifetime!

This smells like a flowery aquatic to me. Beautiful and vibrant. A fantastic one for floriental fans looking for a change. It's perfect for spring and summer. I adore violets, and it has a powdery feel about it. This smell is a warm, solemn, exquisite flower that is almost overbearing in its warmth. Another favourite fruity flowery aquatic smell!

Very nice oriental a little sweet while the amber note gives a kind of aromatic pachouli sense. The bottle is heavy black glass which gives a high class design. It is very long lasting and you can see that this is a very well blended perfume of a superior quality. Reminds a lot of Play intense. I like it very much. Try it!!!

I really love this fragrance, but I am SO disappointed with the poor sillage and lasting power. It is a shame when you buy an eau de parfume, and it`s almost gone in an hour.. If it had more power, I would definately wear this soft, smooth, sweet and sexy baby every day. It could easy be one of my favourites.

I bought a 50 ml bottle because i read the reviews here and i am so glad i did it.I some kind expected something cheap as i didn't pay it much, but It's a sophisticated fragrance. There's a delicate sweetness in it that gives this perfume a touch of elegance.I love it!It's a big YES and a thumb up for me.

I don't smell the may jane, but the amber takes me to a whole other plane :) Sweet and comforting. Along the lines of CK and YSL indeed. The level of sweetness reminds me of Hugo Boos Orange (if I recall the scent correctly) for women, although the notes are not the same.

It's such a sensual scent. The fruits and flowers aren't sharp and annoying, they're covered in soft, velvety powder. Perfect for the night and for winter in my opinion.

This is a sexy scent for sure. It's sophisticated and different from most of my fruity/sweet go to fragrances. Definitely a night time scent and perfect with lingerie.

It's underrated, I fell in love with this perfume 10 years ago when i received a tester, I brought one last year and I never changed my opinion, it smells like heaven!

I'm a huge fan of amber fragrances, and this is one of my very favorites. It's strong, sensual, and very feminine. This is probably not for teenagers or daytime wear.

Warm, sweet, creamy, feminine. Woody-ambery floral. A skin scent, it doesn't last long on my skin, unfortunately, but it's lovely.

Lovely, sensual fragrance! its very good sweet powerful sexy. Long-lasting also.Recommend !

I like this perfume first of all because it doesn't contain musk, which I get head aches from. At the same time, it smells, although, pleasant, not very complicated. I would categorize this as a floral gourmand, although it might sound strange. To me it smells like fruity chocolate at first. It's actually quite a soft smell, not overly sweet. Then I get amber and patchouli, which calms this down even further and makes it more natural smelling... almost a little pine-y, but I wouldn't say it's obviously woody. I will definitely wear this in the autumn and winter. Maybe even use a tiny bit of this to uni, although I wouldn't suggest other people doing that. It just smells a little like you want to seduce someone, and everybody can smell it X) I think the name of the company elegant and classy, the bottle is seductive, the advertisement is great. Naturally, I expect the perfume inside to be spectacular, but it's... highly underwhelming, I would say. It's just "nice". I like it. It isn't what I would call impressive though. UPDATE: ... there is something in this perfume that smells just a little bit like lube... I have no clue whether this is something the creator planned out or if it's just some reaction that happens on my skin... I would really like to hear if someone else has had the same experience

From the packaging of the tester, this has more notes and slightly different notes then those listed here. Grape flower, paradise seeds, and amyris is missing altogether. The pear is a nashi pear, a japanese speciality, and the rose is not a rose at all, it is a helleborus (-"rose"). Explains why I don't smell any rose... I don't get any patchouli either, unlike some others, this is just pure smoothness in my opinion. And I get more vanilla than chocolate. I see that Play also has amyris in it's notes, and although I can't really say exactly what that smells like, I am guessing it is the "mystery note" that together with orchid make these two similar, and perhaps contribute to one or more of the "imagined" notes here. This is sweet but not cloying, a little dark and a little heavy, but not too much if you know how to practice moderation. It feels warm and soft to me, like a soft (not scratchy wool) blanket, some candles, a cup of hot cocoa and a purring cat.

Initial impression: dark chocolate & grapes 30 min - 5hrs: grapes, flowers, a hint of dark chocolate and spice 5 hrs - 10 hrs: patchouli, spice and a hint of sweetness This is a unique perfume and could pass as a unisex scent. I classify it as a spicy/ oriental scent rather than a fruit-patchouli or floral perfume. Skin Type: oily Office safe: no Potency: HEAVY (1 or 2 sprays is enough) Timing: fall and winter any time / spring summer evenings Projection: projects about arms length Longevity: 10 hrs+ Price about $34 for 50 ml perfume at Winners Packaging: 9/10; the lid is sturdy, the bottle is glass and dark but transparent enough to see how much liquid is left in the bottle; the perfume does not come with a draw string bag to hold the perfume Will I Repurchase: no to strong Disclaimer: my experience may be different from your experience based on my skin type, my chemistry, the season, and my personal tastes

I received both La Perla J'aime and J'aime la Nuit in the mail yesterday and in my opinion they compliment each other very well as a day- and a night time scent. This is a complicated scent since it evokes a whole different olfactory sensation to my nose as compared to the notes that are really in it. Notes listed: Top Notes Pear, Grape blossom Middle Notes Rose, Jasmine, Black orchid Base Notes Amber, Cashmere wood But when I close my eyes and smell this scent on my wrist, I smell a pretty heavy concoction that to my nose consists of patchouli, dark chocolate, velvety red rose and leather. Say what?! O_o Yeah, I know... but that's what I smell :) It's deep, dark, mysterious, sensual and sexy. As La Perla J'aime whispers "hug me", J'aime la Nuit raises it voice and says "take me!" I really enjoy both versions.

Just like many other posters this smells strongly of chocolate to me. Is it the orchid? Some combination of orchid, cashmir and amber? Eh, who knows. I like the fragrance so I'm not worried about it. Besides, "orchid" is a really vague note. J'aime La Nuit is dark, but not too dark. Rich, ambery and sexy. The pear is not a fresh pear, more like a pear poached in brandy. This is a good thing for me. I am generally not a fan of pear in fragrances. I also get a very slight, jammy rose note. I think it makes J'aime La Nuit a bit more mature, and not so sweet-fruity at the club. Not that this wouldn't make a good clubbing fragrance, just it would make a nice dinner fragrance (applied lightly!) as well. I personally get 12+ hours with strong sillage for the first 6.

I do not understand how people draw such strong parallels between La Nuit is CK Euphoria. They both have orchid, amber & woody notes, that of course will make them similar, but that is where similarities of those two fragrances end. Euphoria is deep and complex, La Nuit is sweet and playful, with strong pear opening. Both are beautiful fragrances, I like them both for completely different reasons. Tip: If fragrances have 3 notes in common, you can layer them. La Nuit softens and sweetens Euphoria and brings orchid to the front stage more prominently. Euphoria gives La Nuit the depth it is missing and extends longevity. This is moderately successful pairing, that I utilize from time to time for daytime wear.

The first time I smelt it, I was very pleasantly surprised - the top notes are absolutely delicious. I wanted to buy it, but held back my urge (because I already have quite a big collection of perfumes) and purchased a sample instead. I tried this in the winter - what you call "warm notes" last much longer when it's not hot outside. The top notes were delicious, as always, but the dry-down was so... generic. It's a caramel-amber-vanilla-patchouli type of drydown. IT doesn't smell bad - it just doesn't smell anything special to me. If the top notes of this last a long time on you, this is worth buying, if not, there are other fragrances that can give you he same dry-down.

I got a sample of this gifted in a swap and am pleasantly surprised. JLN is mainly amber to my nose that is strong to begin with but settles with a hint of booze on my skin after about 20 minutes. This is an evening fragrance with a more sexy and seductive vibe that is just the right thing for gals on the prowl. Since I am testing JLN in hot and humid weather I will have to revisit and see what my impression is when the temperatures fall.

i just purchased this from amazon but i dont know if this is 2 years old or 12 years old. when did they discontinue it? anyway, it opens with a blast of aniseed or maybe anise that isnt listed but it settles quickly. so fast in fact that i can hardly smell it from half hour ago. it may be too old, lost its power but it hasnt turned. i can only smell it faintly when i stick my nose on my wrist. will update later.

Bought a bottle of this months ago, hated it, gave it to my daughter. I smelled it on her this evening so tried again on my wrist; now I love it and have to buy myself another bottle. Drat. I find it dissimilar to CK Euphoria, but smell a slight resemblance to Georgio Armani Si. Sillage is good for the first hour or so, then it is little more than a skin scent, longevity moderate.

Nice fragrance but a bit too sweet , only after a few hours does it tame down . First time I used it that amazing fruity chocolate note was present then the boozy pear which was great but I never detected that again weirdly .My nose just gets sweet then a rather nice dry down .I wouldnt buy again but my Husband said he likes it so will use it .Very rich ,sweet sweet floral.

A very interesting scent. On the first spray I get predominantly amber and a surprisingly fresh, sweet floral. The freshness disappears fairly quickly on my skin and it dries down to a delicious, creamy, resinous, sweet floral, almost gourmand, with just a touch of something spicy. Very rich and dark, complex and well-balanced - I like it for night-time.

This is one of those fragrances that settles into a soft powdery veil on the skin, very pretty, subtle and inoffensive. It doesn't have that raspberry synthetic sweetness which dominates the other J'Aime. It's a lovely addition to my collection, and although it won't be my number one favourite, it's one I will reach for from time to time.

this is a warm flowery scent. not too "cute". i ́ve received complements for it, and people sniffing around me. it ́s long-lasting and great to use in the wintertime. better to wear by night than by day, but not too strong if you want to smell elegant during the day either.

This fragrance is a fusion between Black Orchid Voile de Fleur and Si Giorgio Armani. It came out as sophisticated, sweet & playful mix - cold weather, evening fragrance. It is beautiful, very well made and worth trying!

I had this one and I liked...it's not so dark as the bottle/name suggest, but it's the same a fragrance for the evening...it' sweet but also deep, and on me incredible long lasting! I'd like to own it again!

In my opinion, very royal fragrance, smells heavy, i feel it kind a cofee plus floral. Perfume is good, but not excellent. Pink J'aime version i like waaay more better. But this is nice for evening, 30+ age.

Lovely warm fragrance! for me it is more like oriental floral, very sexy and delicious! It smells divine on my friend, unfortunately can`t smell it on me as much, but it is gorgeous!

Its is strong,powdery.I better like La perla J'aime than this perfume.But its is okey,not favorite one,but okey.For me i see its can be like armani code.Something to that side .

A light, powdery fruity floral. It's really pleasant for the price. A bit too sweet and fruity leaning to really be a real 'amber' in my opinion. Youthful. 6/10

For me this one is a mixture of Jasmine noir BLV+Addict+chocolate.great one,but too bad the lasting power is poor,exept for when i spray it on my hair.

It's nice but a little too vulgar and common for me. Sth like cheaper perfums from the past like currara

This fragrance has always attracted much attention, today is complicated to find, but I definitely give it a try. These are the notes: grapes, nashis (an Asian pear round, apple shape and texture), seeds of paradise (Aframomum melegueta or Guinea pepper, a relative of ginger pepper and cardamom flavor between, used as a cheaper substitute for pepper in ancient Asian ), Hellebore rose, jasmine, Queen of the Night, black orchid, cashmere wood, wood of Amyris (a resinous wood used to make torches, fuel and expectorants balms) and amber. The people say it is similar to Euphoria by Calvin klein.I read some reviews that the approach of Dior Addict by Queen of the night, and even Paco Rabanne XS L'Exces for the same note.To me the Queen of the Night I love it, it's a shame that few parfums take it. Hellebore roses can also remind Idole Armani, Versace Crystal Noir or YSL Elle.

I blind bought this from FragranceNet based on notes and reviews. I am so disappointed! I expected a powdery sweet floral and spraying on test strip it does...but on my skin it has a weird plastic doll scent with hint of animalic to make it skanky! This perfume did not last ten minutes before it faded to almost nothing! No projection it was skin scent from the start. My nose started running and I kept sneezing while wearing this perfume so something in it bothers me. Maybe I received a bad batch that is old because reviews do not match the cheap icky perfume I received. Do not recommend it! Ugh!

Was excited to try this. La Perla makes quality perfumes that are lesser known in the US, so are more personal and unique, which I love. The original J'Aime is a beautiful gourmand I used to wear out partying all over beautiful Los Angeles pre-C0vid insanity. I thought this one would be another version of JAime, but it is just very musky, dark, and dirty. Maybe better for a colder climate or as a winter fragrance. This didnt do it for me. But might be great for someone looking for this kind of dark musky sexy fragrance. La Perla parfums are high quality sophisticated non synthetic ingredients.

I came up to bat three times this morning, and it’s a J'Aime La Nuit strike out. Not every perfume is a hit and that’s why when you find one that works it’s so exciting. I had high hopes because this juice has a pretty high batting average, but I couldn’t even get on base with a bunt hit. J'Aime La Nuit Is too sweet and too formal and too synthetic. And I’m not going to even try to figure out this melange of notes, as others have already done a better job than I can do. Off to the dugout I go.

Ugh, no thanks. I love J'Aime (the pink juice) so I bought a package of sample vials of this La Nuit. Nope. All I get is manly patchouli. In fact, it smells exactly like Mens Barbasol Shaving Cream. It lasted too long on my skin and really made me unhappy. I don't get anything feminine, related to J'aime, chocolate, fruit, floral... nothing. :( I'm a gourmand freak, so I love my scents very very sweet. Oh well. :( I have tried in Winter and now Spring.

I received a decant of this as a swap bonus. While it's not something I would have picked out on my own, it's definitely not something I can wear. All I can smell is a very chemical version of cashmere and amber. I can't identify any flowers in this. It's strong and unpleasant. Perhaps this would be better suited to those used to wearing vintage scents?

A stronger version of J'aime. It's for going out and night time fun. For me it's too heavy, too cloying, too candy like. At the moment I often experience women passing by with an immense scent cloud around them that is often like candy. I find it a bit strange. You often wonder if there is a candy or food shop close to you :)

It leaves the same atmosphere like Euphoria (CK) and Midnight Rain (La prairie) do: sexy, deep and trying a bit too hard. Exotic and warm. Juicyness with amber... I would love to wear this on an open-air-party while a storm is coming, jumping and shouting! Or dancing a rumba.

I don't like it. It's too sweet and serious. The perfect scent for Morticia. I didn't want to offend anyone. Different strokes for different folks.
