Club de Nuit Uńtōld Armaf

Enigmatic but not mysterious
Club de Nuit Untold is an, airy, candy flossy and undescribable scent. It cannot tell a story through its evolution the same way other perfumes will, but it has that wispy quality; you are never quite certain that the scent is there.
Untold does have that signature surgical smell, but I detect some of that round pear vibe along with it. Then, an extreme sweetness settles in, but it isn't very gourmand. It feels like being served a plate of strawberries and cream topped with sugar, and then gently collecting and eating the sugar and nothing else. It doesn't make you crave a fuller scent profile, though, which is very interesting. To finish off, a soft, almost creamy and slightly savory woody accord comes in and helps the scent settle down on skin.
The projection and sillage are decent, but... expect the scent to dance around the room. You will only catch a whiff here and there, and when you do, it will be hard to identify of what it is composed. To me, it makes this thing enigmatic without pushing a mysterious narrative — it does not have a dark, humid, woody vibe. I could still smell it after 12+ hours with four sprays.
The flask is a tad gawdy for my taste and the atomizer is basic.
I have not had any experience with Baccarat Rouge 540 Eau de Parfum, so I cannot really compare it to that. Untold is a good scent for winter and summer evenings, but definitely sample before buying.
