Nightcap

This has become a guilty pleasure of mine, and I find myself wearing this more than I would like to admit. Nightcap has a semi-sweet, fruity and boozey (boozie?) quality to it that I find strangely intoxicating and keeps drawing me back to it. Nightcap is the perfect name for this scent, to me it invokes images of sipping a good drink near a fireplace or being in a packed pub with a few close friends. I'm not kidding when I say it's almost like someone had spilled a surprisingly good smelling drink on you, I don't get so much of that woody dry down that others have mentioned, for me what I have to assume is the star anise, mandarin and juniper are prominent and along for the ride from start to finish - and I have no complaints about that. As other's have mentioned the projection isn't particularly strong, instead of jumping off your skin Nightcap leaves an inviting scent trail that really lingers in the air. Longevity also isn't much of an issue here, lasting a good 5-6 hours on my skin and even longer on clothing. For $9.99 per 100 ml you could leave bottles of this everywhere and spray it at will anyway. Nightcap is a fantastic, hidden gem of a cheapie. I highly recommend it to anyone considering picking it up. It was a pleasant surprise for me, and even if it's not for you we all can admit to spending 10$ on far worse things. Thanks for reading.

Totally blown away, the presentation is awesome, gold leaf penguin emblem on a elegant bottle design with a gold metal cap. Now the juice...Opens with fruit and anise, the dry down is also unique wood amber and the seaweed is there doing its job to knock down some of the sweetness associated with wood and amber. Has decent performance a little better than average, for the price this is a total gem!

Woo! Finally a page has been made for Nightcap! This is a great sweet/ambery/spicy type of fragrance. Think of CH Men without the leather or grass and you are 85% there! Sweet citrus opening with a spicy, smooth, woody dry down. Projection isn't that good but the longevity is pretty decent... :)

Nice spicy but not too pricey concoction from the penguin...It does have that Darkness about it with its spicy rich aromatics...Pretty pungent and strong early but ends after about the 5-Hour mark I give it a 7.2 for the smell and a 6.8 for the silage and Longevity well worth it

I like it, cheap and a really good fragance. I agree, it also reminds me CH Men, but does anyone perceive tamarindos scent in it or is it the sum?
