Nuit de l'Himalaya

So feminine clean musky pure elegant sweet and cozy! I love to wear this so much! Got it as a gift from Rituals and now I'm so obsessed with it! Once I'm done with the mini 15ml bottle I'll order myself a big one!

Smells like a flower field in the mountains, I am a huge fan. A very Spring-ish fragrance.

I don't usually like scents this sweet, but it mellows out quickly after drying on my skin. I'm a longtime fan of rose and patchouli when blended well. The lemony note reminds me a bit of daphne in bloom, which is just about impossible to capture. I've also learned I'm a sucker for pink peppercorn, it's the thing allowing this a "Himalayan" concept in addition to the patchouli. This fragrance spans day to night for me. I've enjoyed it in autumn and winter, it might be too much in summer. If you want a younger, stronger, juicier fragrance, try Memo Paris's Madurai. If you want a more mature upscale fragrance, try Barenia from Hermes.

Many rituals perfumes have some unisex touch on them, meanwhile they still smell attractive and somewhat unique. Nuit de l'Himalaya smells kinda cologny/clean due to musk, lemon and cedar, mixed with peonies, roses and blackcurrant. I do not think it’s a typical nighttime perfume. This is something safe to wear in some administrative environment where you don’t want to pour any Ariana Grande style marshmallow fluff to anyone but still smell feminine. I think it’s not groundbreaking but it deserves some attention, specially if you are rituals fan.

Just got this today, it was part of my rituals order a free 15ml bottle. It is a new fragrance for 2024. Perfect for this autumn/winter season. You will enjoy it if you like patchouil and musk. Been wearing it the past hour and seems to be long lasting. Will update my thoughts later
