By Night Christina Aguilera 2009 Eau de Parfum

Our Christina Aguilera, then. I need to catch up a little. In 1999, the song "Genie in a bottle" entered the charts and reached number 1 shortly afterwards. This was Christina's international breakthrough and she conquered the world with her songs.

And then. Yes, then Christina underwent a transformation. Suddenly she was thrilling audiences with ballads that went straight through their bones and exposed a voice that resembled that of a goddess. Full, warm tones that gigantically pass through several octaves without falling out of balance even a tiny bit. Her appearance changed from girlie to full-blooded woman, which can be seen beautifully in the movie "Bourleque". Lots of curves and hot outfits give a glimpse into the depths of an abyssal ocean. Admittedly, the plot of the film of the same name is rather poor, but there is no denying that worshippers of beautiful women in sexy clothes would not be richly rewarded. Hand on heart. Something for the eye and the ear.

Indeed, this fragrance captures the sensual and erotic touch of the Bourlesque style. A heavenly opening of fresia and peach that briefly reminds me of Gucci Rush, but only very briefly. The fruit-floral opening and the woody-vanilla drydown are perfectly coordinated. Unfortunately, the longevity does not speak volumes for too long, but "By Night" does not necessarily need to, as it keeps its promise with its name. An unmistakable, evening-night appearance with an oriental to erotic flair.

Perhaps "by night" lacks a certain essential depth. Perhaps fragrance experts and experienced perfume enthusiasts will not get their money's worth in an olfactory sense. So be it. In any case, it makes me feel exhilarated. And my wallet is happy too. Thank you Christina.
