Cologne Nocturne

This is one of the better "modern Cyphres" I have had the pleasure of trying out. Instant freshness with a very distinct bergamot and a lovely lavender bliss. As stated below, the accord hides the notes well save for lavender and bergamot, but that is not a bad thing, at all. It is a very aromatic and spicy accord accompanied by lovely while subtle woods that adds a nice nuance. There are some green notes and a herbal spicyness that sit very well with the rest of the composition. Cologne Nocturne reminds me somewhat of Tom Ford's Grey Vetiver aside, of course, from the lavender. While not a similar scent per se the "feeling" is very much the same, less green and bitter but slightly more sweet and woodsy. An early late-summers morning in the woods with some dew to make nature really shine, both visually and in rich scents. Slightly misty and fleeting but certainly not dank. Rounded off with a mediterrainian late but warm evening in a citrus grove with plenty of lavender to sweeten the deal. In summary, I adore Cologne Nocturne! I am usually not a huge fan of lavender since I often get the feeling that it dominates in a cloying way. But this is somethibng else completely. If my wife does not voice a strong opinion against it, I will get a bottle. (probably will anyway and use for myself) While not familiar with Le Galion from before I might sample a few more solely on basis of this one.

Sometimes things just get a little too much you know. ...Phosphorescent petal accords, Deepest Aoud v0.3, Nile waterlily headspaces, Driftwood essence, ginger lily CO2's, grey ambergris tinctures.... Cologne Nocturne is none of those things. Its what I reach for when I want to cut through the hype. From the most humble line-up of ingredients comes something so special. Somehow, always, the opening citrus is exciting. I'm not sure how. An aura of lavender is probably the strongest feature, but never sticks out, its combined with a judicious use of herbaceous nuances that describe a dry and characterful landscape. Wood and spices seamlessly integrated. Somehow the rosewood waters the whole thing into some stunning artwork. Fit for absolutely any occasion you can throw at it. I'll never let my bottle go.

I like lavender and being french gave me the chance to smell a lot of lavender. This one is a real good lavender fragrance to be honest. Lavender note with lemon notes at first spray, then comes quietly the patchouli and few woody notes. 💜 Unisex 🔥 Hot Seasons 📌 Personal Note: 7.5 / 10

A Eau de Cologne without citruses. Very fresh lavender, sage and thyme, treated in a contemporary manner - with modern woods. Very elegant and perfect with a classy jacket on a summer evening.

Straight up vinegar + wet towels... But not bad. It's a good scent if your nose doesn't associate it with wet towels. Will try on skin and update this comment in the future.
