1992 Purple Night

Now I understand what a bubblegum tuberose is and I think lovers of Fracas, a more straightforward voluptuous white floral could also really love Purple Night. Compared to Portrayal Woman by Annick Menardo and Pierre Negrin which is another tuberose tobacco combo Purple Night is a more refined, elegant and voluminous interpretation. A stunning modern white floral cloud. There’s also no elemi in this so it’s perfect for those who don’t like frankincense. Personally I found the elemi in Portrayal to be screechy and jarring. Purple Night is so easy to wear and safe blind buy for those who love the notes. Dominique Ropion is a Master Perfumer for a reason. Perfect for cooler months. Big love for me. “Should I describe the fragrance 1992 Purple Night with 3 words: exuberant, delicate and maverick.“ Dominique Ropion Head: Mandarin Heart: Indian Tuberose, Egyptian Jasmin Base : Tobacco Accord, Suede Accord, Indonesian Patchouli From the brand... A tribute to the Prince of Pop and Funk. He comes to Les Bains in a limo. The rumors precede him. Crowds outside, just as crowded inside. He has dinner, no rush, then goes down to the club, leaving a strong trail of heady perfume. Tuberose, tonka bean, patchouli and woody amber. He climbs onstage. For fun and for free. For the pleasure. For the club. For those who happened to be there. Smells classic and modern at the same time. A concert! Total magic. It is raining sounds, colors, scents. How many artists, how many dreamlike moments came to life that year at Les Bains?

There’s something magical about 1992 Purple Nights. It’s feminine without being overly delicate, and sensual without trying too hard. It balances sophistication and fun in a way that makes it unforgettable. Opening Notes From the first spray, there’s a sweetness that’s hard to pin down but immediately comforting. It’s like the juicy burst of ripe plums mixed with an airy, almost bubblegum-like quality. It feels playful yet refined, giving the impression of effortless confidence. The Heart As it warms on the skin, the scent becomes smoother and richer. Soft florals begin to weave in, adding depth without overshadowing the sweetness. The mix of fruit and floral feels velvety and warm, like silk against the skin. The Drydown The drydown is where the sensuality takes center stage. Amber and woods create a cozy, lingering warmth, while the bubblegum sweetness softens into something more subtle and irresistible. It clings to the skin like a gentle embrace, making you want to lean in closer.

1992 Purple Night Les Bains Guerbois (KRJ2, USD 135) This is sure addictive Tuberose scent, the pure narcotic tuberose scent without vanilla. It is just pure bubble gum tuberose, grape like - smell like Purple. It starts like normal candy tuberose luring like nothing really going on. But as soon as cigarettes' emerge, it like cigarette is pollen of Tuberose.

Same way you wants to smoke the cigarette. Excellent Execution One of Narcotic Tuberose that can be registered as Narcotic Floral. (and easy to use) 10/10

To get the best from this one you want an airy spray from a distance or else it is too strong! The slightly grapey opening (think rosso epicurio) gives way to a stunning slightly bubblegummy slightly sweet (but not very) tuberose. First time I tried it i was too heavy handed but the second time I totally fell for it. i could totally see this being an early 90s scent per the name. Not like anything else I've tried. Projects and lasts!

So tuberose + powdery vanilla + tobacco. It's actually quite nice, and I'm happy to own a bottle. The tobacco note is more like a lit cigarette than raw tobacco if that makes sense. Some might think it's too sweet for a man, but the tobacco note really stops it from being purely feminine. The dry down an hour later is where this REALLY shines and where I can comfortably wear it as a woman.
