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

Blind Bought this for my partner who I have recently got into his fragrances. And at first it was a straight no from both of us because at first it did smell a bit of f a mess . So then we let it sit on the shelf for a few weeks before revisiting and I’m glad to say he has worn this most nights this week this reminds me of one of the fragrances I already have “kilians black phantom” , only serenade in my opinion is a tad more leaning masculine. I can honestly say this is a strong like from both of us NOW anyway. If you already have this and didn’t like it at first I would advise to give it a few weeks , just to let it settle a bit before revisiting 👌🙂 Beast mode? 7/10 Longevity? 6+ hours Unique? Has similarities to black phantom but not generic at all Safe blind buy? Absolutely not you need to really like boozy fragrances Unisex? Not in my opinion

Not sure if the tester smells different than the full bottle, but it smells exactly like the incense at my church haha. But it does smell good! Just not what I was expecting based on the notes listed. Definitely unisex, very smokey and rich. Not sure if I want a full bottle or not... It'd definitely be a unique one to my collection! But I don't know if it would be for everyone. Definitely get a decant to try before buying!

I'm super confused as I get more of a soft honey chocolate old lady powdered bum with rose straight off then the woods come in the chocolate and honey dissappears leaving the sweet milky powdery Rose scent incense and wood alittle sweet and some patchouli mix. the smell of a hippy shop hey I'm not complaining I like this

Dark and sweet. Seductive and alluring. Warm and unisex. All from the opening. This is smokey and woody to my nose as this dries. This is still however unique in the way that it could be attention-grabbing from the opening and after it dries. This would be a wonderful date night scent.

I have to keep looking at the notes on this one. All I get is Nag Champa insence. Not a bad fragrance at all but in my opinion Aubade is a far superior scent.

I would pass on this if I had to do it again. I blind bought this and that is on me.. Def check it out before you pull tne trigger

Out of personal memory, this exactly smells like an old ship that has an amalgamated smell of spices, booze, and the woody smell of the ship itself. A very mature smell, for a night out with the guys. The scent is noticeably animalic and spicier on the skin while staying more sweeter and mellow on a shirt. This scent is exactly what the notes suggest it to be with a more ashy or smoky nature to these ingredients. I picture a lumberjack with his jacket and jeans on, ready for a cruise on his Harley on a cold night. Not a perfume I would miss after it's gone, and I would love to rock the Bentley for men Intense or L'Occitane Eau de Bavx for every circumstance where I might wear the Serenade.

Picked this up to support the collaboration of Navitus with The Bowtie Fragrance Guy. Love the cognac and chocolate notes. Reminds me of Black Phantom but not a clone or anything.

The opening is good, but the dry down is not so good. Very nasculine on me. I don't get ANY of the notes listed. Glad I only bought a decant.

I don’t know why but this smells like grape soda to me
