Tendre est la Nuit

Sophisticated, Sexy and Seductive, Tendre est la Nuit is Addiction from first sniff! A heady, intoxicating Leather-Smoky-Floral blend that empowers and entices. I love this style of perfume - makes me feel glamorous! Sprayed this on my wrist and could not resist smelling it all day. Granted, Leather-Floral Chypre might not be everyone's cup of tea, but if you are a Leather or Oriental fan, do give this a try and you will not be disappointed. Well-suited for autumn or winter evenings. The women testing TelN next to me were completely overwhelmed by the intense top notes that they kept wondering what it was - Ambrette and carrot seens, Leather and Animalic notes permeate throughout, followed by Pepper and Incense, drying down to a more masculine Smoky and Woody base. Somehow reminiscent of Cuir Garamante by MDCI which I adore, even though that's classified as a Men's perfume. I admit I was first drawn to Majda Bekkali's perfume by her beautiful sculpture-like bottles. Once tried, I am equally impressed with their quality and composition - only wish I could afford more from her line.

You really have to wait about an hour to discover the brilliance of this. It's a patch scent but not totally dominated by patch. It has a slightly sweet/smoky/dry vibe to it. Very distinguished and intoxicating. I am a huge fan of the immortelle note so I have been trying to sample as many scents as I can with the note. This has not let me down as a few others have. I am happy to have tried this for sure!

Niche version of vintage Hermes Bel Ami. Best way to describe this one. It’s very masculine and has a ton of death and character. This and mon nom est rouge are my two fav from this house. A very gorgeous use of incense in both. I’m still testing both and will be getting a bottle of one of them!

an amber fragrance with notes of patchouli, incense and cuir. I consider this scent a very sensual and elegant despite being a bit gloomy. perfect for the cold season. wonderful bottle

شیک ، باکلاس و اغواگر و اغواگر به خصوص

Impact Right upfront it reminds me of a rusty nail, not the object, the cocktail. Scotch and Drambuie, and in this case not a simple blended scotch but a rather nice single malt with a bit of peat smoke. Also getting something very green and vegetal that leads to baking spice and soft blue or purple fruit. It warms to a musk, but not hot. There’s almost a crisp new dollar bill scent, a printed paper reminiscent of the trees wood it came from. I can tell I’d prefer this as an oil or attar. I’d prefer ambergris over this sort of Amber musk which I can’t help but think of a bathroom odor. The remaining wood saves the day. Wearability I like this scent, I wish it would have remained in its initial stages, as I don’t prefer the dry down. However that doesn’t make me want to wear it because I’d rather just grab an amber heavy oud. I don’t really believe in a scent occupying a specific season or gender but for reference I’d suggest it’s a softer masculine scent set in fall. You’re left wearing a wood scent, and a nice one at that, but it’s not unique or remarkable in any way. Not a blind buy. Bottom line It’s an adventurous scent that just ends up anticlimactic, but it’s the journey that counts I suppose. Decent silliage, mild longevity and projection, sadly on my skin. Again, I can’t help but emphasize that this construction would work better as an oil, maybe less balsamic and more animalistic.

........and the house keep cranking out more tooth decaying-like frags! If you know anything about Majda, you can almost guarantee that they will concoct a fragrance with a sweet oriental/gourmand twist. Tendre has an almost earthy interpretation overshadowed by what seems to be caramelized mossy woods. At times it's hard to distinguish the labdanum from the sweet patchouli while the incense serves as referee. Also added to the brew are the typical gene of sweet resins found in most Majda creations. The base rounds out to a slice of leather blended with a waft of wood. It doesn't take long to determine that this is an androgynous frag and one to include on want lists.

A bit dark, oily, smoky, and resinous. A strong like so far, but it's a bit heavy on patchouli and styrax (not listed) which inevitably leaves me vexed. Could have been a tiny bit more balanced. It's more or less the same composition as Masque Milano's Montecristo, but softer, rounder, sweeter, with none of that fecal smelling hyrax. Same perfumer also, which explains my interpretation. It's nothing like Bel Ami, to my nose, but perhaps the oiliness of the styrax can be misconstrued as similar. Anyhow if you've smelled Montecristo, you'll get an idea of what this one is all about.

Complex! is a nocturnal perfume, I feel as if there was fog around, full moon and a cold but light wind! incense is not heavy but made "fresh" from the other notes, especially the notes of benzoin. is very interesting evolution in the skin drydown emerges with incense and patchouli that becomes more and more in the shade as time goes on! this fragrance I like, I'll try again in the cold months of winter. Sillage: 8./10 Longevity: 8.5/10 Scent: 8./10 Overall: 7.5/10

Very calming & interesting scent. Quite strong but doesn’t last very long on my skin. I get a lot of incense, benzoin, pepper, carrot seeds with slight animalic notes. I like it a lot but not FBW.

The first word that came to my mind was "weird". I was raised Catholic and am old enough to remember the old Latin mass so I've always had a weak spot for incense perfumes. However... No doubt about the opening note is frankincense, which is how the scent immediately opens but after about 10 minutes it gets sweet--weirdly unpleasantly sweet. It finally topples over into a frankincense/patchouli/burnt wood coma before fading out completely in about half an hour. The only possible connection I can see between this stuff and Zelda Fitzgerald is perhaps this is what drove her insane. Someday someone will explain the logic of perfumers putting more effort into the bottle than the juice inside. Sillage: 1-2 ft Longevity: mercifully short Fabulosity: Screech from "Saved by the Bell" Value to price ratio: terrible 1/10

I so wanted to love this, as it is based on the fascinating Zelda Fitzgerald, and because the bottle is stunning. Sadly, on me it's just patchouli; like the kind you find on an incense stick! That note emerged strong as soon as I dabbed it on and it didn't change throughout the entire 10 hours it stayed on my skin. (Yes, it's a longevity beast.) I could not detect any other note in the composition, though naturally this could just be the way this perfume interacts with my skin. So sad, but I could go into a hippy shop and rub myself with an incense stick for much cheaper. Then again, some people love patchouli; if you do, this one's for you.

I really hoped I would like this, as I've been admiring these beautiful bottles for a while. I enjoy ambery immortelle fragrances, too. Unfortunately, this smells a lot like cumin on me, with a leathery edge. It's masculine and a little dirty, and not in a good way. It just smells sweaty.

Don't really understand the hate minutes performance for me. The scent is a love for me. I love amber notes and a really good labdanum note is right behind white ambergris. The labdanum can come across as have a pepper accord and this one does, that ties with actual pepper notes and maybe that's what's turning people off. Not this guy, I love it. Only lasts about 2 hours on me, and that's a big hit. However, I like wearing it after I shower and lie down. Amber scents have a great calming affect on me! I would say blind buy is safe, but given some of the reviews I would say no. But I really like it

Incenso meravigliosamente seducente. Incenso illuminato da un dolcemente sensuale elicrisio, riscaldato dall'ambra, sorridente di pepe e benzoino. Un profumo difficile da definire o da intitolare, data la raffinata complessità e le molteplici sfumature. Ambrato, fiorito, smoky-incensato, cuoiato resinoso. Patchouli caldo, morbido, elegante, vellutato. Se fosse un tessuto sarebbe velluto blu trapunto di stelle.

I personally see this a pepper overdose with an animalic baseline. I can't see any charm that captivates me other than the bottle itself. It's unisex with chaos complex blend. I'm trying so hard to love it but i just can't! nothing so special or understandable in this fragrance!

It smells like a church and an old library! Heavy first notes of labdanum and ambers sometimes gives me a headache. Overall this is a very interesting scent. Enjoying wood notes of patchouli and sandalwood. More masculine fragrance that will fill the room for days

Mostly patchouly olibanum coffe. Nice fragrance, simple, very very oriental-Africa smell, a bit indian shop also. After one hour it reach a good ebony wood vibration. Remember me a lot I Coloniali Olibano by Atkinsons. And in a far way Black Cashmere by D. Karan.

A boozy onset with strong patchouli/wood feeling mellows to smooth leather incense and woods. Stark, strong but also lovely. Would consider this unisex. Also reminds me very much of something I've smelled before, possibly at a Wiccan store or herbal shop. Nice

This is the best Amber fragrance I’ve ever smelled. Way better than grand soir, Shalimar etc. perfect balance of incense and benzoin. It’s a well rounded mysterious fragrance that you would smell in the bazaars of Morocco. Just incredible. 10/10

It is excellent scent ,complex and very chic. The longevity and sillage is moderate that not important because it's scent is so beautiful and high quality. I love it. Bravo Delphine Thierry 8/10

f the bottle. the stuff inside is the most peaceful walk through the forest. smell it for 4 bucks tiny sample from l scent. worth it!

This is meant to be worn to be hiding in a garden and being the mysterious lady at a party. It's so magnetic!

One of the most beautiful perfume bottles I have ever seen! Would love to smell it!!
