Opening Night

Opening night by Nette Currently on sale for $62 under collection archive sale on Nettenyc.com Opening night is clearly one of the more misunderstood fragrances from this perfumer. It has a silky quality to the vetiver note, a punchy citrus vibe from the Bergamont and grapefruit, and a spicy sweetness from Amber and cardamom. This fragrance at first spray seems just woody, but after about 30 seconds it becomes addicting. I can’t stop smelling it off of my scent strips. I sprayed it on my wrist and I’m keeping it close to my nose. I just am shocked as someone who isn’t really a neroli and Vetiver kind of girl, that I like it so much. I deeply hate masculine scents, and I do not believe that every fragrance is unisex. This however, is one of the first sense that I believe a man could rock without question that I also want to wear. When I picture the kind of man that wears this fragrance, he’s a tall fit modelesque type of guy with a mysterious vibe. Not a bold and over-the-top personality, but extremely clean, neat and put together. As for the woman that rocks fragrance, she’s definitely a boss. This is beyond a clean girl scent, this is grown woman with contracts and business to handle.

Absolutely love that this bursts with Neroli. A green, citrusy, flowery, lovely experience. My only disappointment is it does not last long and not even as long as other Nette scents. But, I keep spraying and sniffing because it's addictive to me. I tried spraying it on clothing and my hair to see if I could make it last longer or smell more notes, but it hasn't worked. I don't smell much of the base, probably why it's so fleeting, but beautiful! ETA: I tried this on paper later. It allowed for a more nuanced experience. In the opening, bergamot and grapefruit support neroli. Then, the neroli is accented by lemon verbena and rosemary. The neroli is the star of the show here - so beautiful and luscious. The neroli lasts through drydown and joins amber, vetiver, and a bit of vanilla. I love this! Even if it might not hold up to real world use, it is beautifully done.

I can’t believe I slept on this fragrance as long as I did. Initially I bought the discovery set and this and the vanille kinda stood out to me but I wasn’t in love with either. All I thought was the vanille is pleasant and slightly reminiscent of the Hollister store scent, which is very nostalgic to me, and this one is just very fresh and inoffensive. I revisited it recently about a year later and I just instantly fell in love with this especially after trying so many neroli scents. For me, I rank this at the top of neroli frags I’ve tried so far because it’s not overly floral. I think it’s the verbena and rosemary. I just love it so much.

Really lovely. Reminiscent of Herbes Troublantes by Guerlain. Overall Nette's fragrances remind me of Diptyche, both have an underlying vintage dna in their fragrances, a really good one, and this is similar to L'eau Neroli too. Soft, very fresh, lovely. A nostalgic scent. It feels like a lingering scent in a room overlooking the sea, with white curtains blowing. Update: Enjoyed all fall, winter, and now into spring. A frequent reach.

This is a beautiful scent! The initial spray is a little harsh but it only lasts a couple seconds, then it settles into this beautiful neroli scent that's green and a little bit spicy. I bought the Nette sample pack recently and i'm so excited that it came with bigger 3ml sprays because I will definitely be wearing this one.
