Les Nuits de Bali

Maison de L'Asie is a new niche perfume house. The founder Elizabeth dedicated the first perfume to her mother (Mother X Love) and felt that Nostalgia and the ode to our innocence and happiness from childhood is something most adults forget and wanted to share that emotion with others. Following that, the entire chapter 01 is about homecoming and memories... And although set In Singapore (Nanyang - an old nostalgic word for Singapore) - it's an emotion she felt others can relate to. Every chapter has a philosophical theme behind it, and she wanted to elevate the interpretation of Asia to the world while gently telling olfactory stories encapsulating the main theme of each chapter. Chapter 02 theme is Rêveries - and on the surface it appears like a simple interpretation of dreams on an island like Bali. In fact, it is about mankind's search for the utopian ideal and how we always go outside looking for it (as inspired by the main theme song Bali Hai in South Pacific where the sailors search for paradise in the south pacific islands) - when in fact utopia is always within if we pause to look inside. This concept of a faraway island is simply an allegory for that utopian ideal. Lets talk about Les Nuits de Bali. Les Nuits de Bali is such a seductive and very addictive perfume. This is a Vanilla bases perfume. In the opening, you get a warm and creamy Vanilla. It is not a Vanilla that is heavy or intoxicating like some Vanilla perfumes have. This one smells very sensual. Next to Vanilla, I can pick up the notes of Patchouli (this one has more of a dark chocolate vibe) and soft and silky amber. So if you are looking for a warm seductive, and addictive perfume. Try this one out. Probably one of my favorite Vanilla perfumes around at this moment.

"The truth is, I just wanted to sleep peacefully, there on the ground, amongst the colorful flowers. I was finally breathing. When did it get so hard to breathe ? Bali, The Island of Gods, was full of promises: a brand new start, full of light and rich with adventures, giant waves from the ocean, bringing a peaceful wind on my cheeks ... I could see shades of colors I couldn't see before, smell some exotic flowers I didn't even know existed. I am alive, but most of all, I am free." Les Nuits de Bali is phenomenal, it envelops you, and it brings you on a journey, far from home. It is warm, buttery, and one of the creamiest fragrances I've ever smelled. It opens up with a bit of saffron and a gorgeous veil of vanilla, in which all the different woods shine together. The Oud is barely noticeable, it brings depth to the mix and a sunset/evening vibe. The rose and jasmine are also very shy, leaving place to the vanilla, who's truly the star here. The musk/patchouli drydown brings a tiny earthy touch to the fragrance, that lingers on your skin forever. Ambery, creamy, a bit spicy, almost gourmand-ish. Perfection. 'Bali' is an Extrait de Parfum, super concentrated (37% !!!!). I've worn it all week, and I swear I've never gotten that much compliments for a fragrance in my life 🌺.

I love literally any take on vanilla and this is such a good one. I visited some niche perfumeries in London and the guy there sprayed this on me and I came back the next day to buy it. Definitely feels a bit more mature and I see how people could get grandma vibes, but it just makes me feel respectable. Lasts all day and keeps smelling good.

Well, of course this fragrance getting more love from everyone, and it's understandable, because of its beauty, Exotic vibes floral notes of rose and gourmand vanilla with mysterious woody sandalwood and Patchouli notes Absolutely my favorite! Chapter 2 so good , all 3 perfumes

When I received my subscription vial I was surprised by the strong “bread” note. It was unbalanced and disappointing as I read all these reviews. 2 weeks later on the freezing day I have applied it and find so comforting and balmy and I keep sniffing my wrists.
