Nocturno

Bought this early Nov 2025. I let it macerate for more than a month and it became rounder and smoother which is great ofc. I smelled it then thought of sauvage edt initially but later on it does its own thing. My father disagreed that it's nearly sauvage (sauvage and aventus are his signature scents). For me, this fragrance is great because of its price. If you don't care about any brands for a perfume and want to smell manly, fresh and great then this is a nice fragrance to use. It is very versatile and can be used at office, gym and errands. Rayhaan ate with this one in my humble opinion. The only Rayhaan I didn't like (but my father loved this one) is Imperia Legacy haha. Some say it clones ysl kouros.

Ordered this from UK before the tarrifs kicked in, glad I did because it's not available in the US. I will say, it isn't worth more than 50 usd. This is solid for a typical blue fragrance, it's well blended and very versatile, great for day/night and all season. Best way to describe the scent profile is a cross between suavage and bdc. Blind buy safe, would recommend to anyone looking for a fresh and clean daily driver. If you live in the US like me and can't find nocturne for a fair price, an alternative is Afnan's historic omleda. It's another blue fragrance that's inoffensive, easy to wear and a solid daily driver.

I bought Nocturno a month ago and sprayed it about 5–8 times before leaving it to macerate. I didn’t use it again until yesterday. I sprayed it three times (twice on my neck and once on my back) before going out. After about eight hours, I met a friend who was standing a few feet away from me, and he asked, “What are you wearing? That smells so good.” That’s when I realized it was still performing like a charm. The maceration was definitely a success, not gonna lie. To me, the scent smells more like Sauvage EDP because it’s much smoother. It's a versatile blue fragrance overall.

This is what I was hoping for. A nicely done low price blue fragrance. Sauvage EDP just not as strong. I love the bottle design. This isn’t going to wow anyone but it’s better than a lot of the more basic designer blue scents you can get at the price $30 usd. I will give the slight edge on scent to CDN urban man elixir. That one is a little stronger and a little more fresh. But I really don’t like the CDN bottles as much. If you like Sauvage, BDC or Dylan Blue you will like this. 8/10 for me.

Opening: Freshie. I didn’t sniff BDC. So don’t know if it’s similar or not. But it's undoubtedly good. The fresh smell lasts for about 30 minutes-1 hour Dry down: Powdery pleasing smell. 90% simillar to Dior Sauvage. Didn't get the rest 10% because sauvage is a bit more smooth. But nocturno is also smooth enough. It's been 7 hours since i sprayed only once in my wrist and it’s still there. Final verdict: Value for money. Get this freshie, don’t be late.
