Serenade

My first ever blind buy. Exceptionally pleased!! I’ve also purchased Abaude now called Lyrik. It took months to decide a fav and for me it’s Serenade. It’s my #2 winter favorite. The cold air (anything below 60°) makes it shine. I like it in the FALL 🍁 and love it ❤️❤️❤️ in the WINTER ❄️It boldly cuts through Cleveland Ohio cold air like a hot sexy knife. When I read the notes and accords I get many of them (not all) but I’m no perfumer I just know what I like...& I really like Serenade especially when it dries down. I can smell it in my shirts days later which lets me know how I smell to my spouse up close. Niche quality combined with matching gourmand longevity. You really need to get your nose on it.✨

This is an amazing honey chocolate scent that is similar to black phantom by kilian but it holds its own. Amazing from the opening but the magic happens in the dry down with the incense and chocolate blend so well on my skin. As we know fragrance is subjective, but this is amazing on me.

This one really reminds me to Nejma 7 the same cheap cocoa note, strong almost cloying opening! Within minutes i can feel a lot of loud cognac and in like one hour the drydown turns reeeeeally good! That sillage is so calming on me! Mostly orange blossom and honey! A solid 7 for me.

This smells great it’s so unique and you can smell the richness of the fragrance. This is definitely high quality.

Navitus Parfums Serenade is one of the house’s relatively recent collaborations (along with Aubade) with Bowtie Fragrance Guy, a rather sweet blend featuring orange blossom, cognac, honey, chocolate, woods, patchouli, and tonka, not quite as deep or dark as prior releases like BBB’s Soir Exclusif or Exalt. It feels like it has a bit of a floral vibe, as well, though with only the orange blossom listed, I imagine what I’m detecting is the mix of orange blossom, musk, and perhaps patchouli. It leans a little toward that candied floral vibe on my skin, however, and it’s an aspect that renders the fragrance a bit feminine-leaning, though still overall a quite unisex semi-gourmand. Overall, I think it’s a nice sweet entry in the line that is pretty agreeable, with very good performance, and pairs nicely with the Aubade as perhaps the nighttime to Aubade’s daytime. The pricing is the line’s mostly-standard $195 for 100ml though there are significant discounts available currently on the website. 7 out of 10
