Night Soul

Purchased from Selfridges on launch day along with Oud Montaigne. This perfume is absolutely stunning, and a welcome departure from the ambroxin bombs that await on every trip to a perfume counter these days. It’s woody, warm and sweet (not sickeningly, it’s been handled with care). Although not listed, for the first 30-60 minutes, I smell a beautiful buttery Iris with a milky, green fig. On the dry down the woods take centre stage, all underpinned by warm, comforting Tonka bean. For me, this is the best in the collection and it’s not close!

As a lover of sandalwood and fig, it’s gorgeous to me. It’s soft, musky, smooth, gentle. I reeeeally like this one. Not groundbreaking but so comfy to me. Could be my relax or bed scent, so comforting. I get more of the fig, cedarwood and sandalwood, not tonka (sorry for those who are searching for a tonka forward scent). The name of this one is very accurate to my mind and my nose.

Night Soul is fig, cream, and woods having a midnight rendezvous. Think Santal 33 in silk pajamas with a sweet tooth. It started as a maybe... now I’m obsessed.

Unfortunately the fig wasn't really figging like I wanted it to fig and the whipped cream is nowhere to be found. I very much get Home Depot lumber section. I don't necessarily hate it but that's genuinely all I can pick up. Maybe they forgot the rest of the notes in my sample. It's so woody it almost makes my eyes water. Even still I wouldn't call it offensive. By itself, yes, but if it were to be layered with something fruity (fig perhaps?) or sweet it could help disperse it a bit more. Interesting fragrance, probably gonna pass on this one though.

Imagine you peed the bed in the home section of a furniture store There is this urine covered popcorn bucket smell here that completely throws off the sweet powdery woods scent this is trying to be
