Very helpful Review
Intense and Hefty!
During my last visit to the Dior boutique in Munich, I came across this gem.
Of all the scents from La Collection Privée, only Ambre Nuit appeals to me even more, that should be said upfront.
What I have noticed about the fragrances from the aforementioned collection is the fact that, in my opinion, truly high-quality raw materials are used here.
I have only encountered an authentic Aoud in "The Night," created by Dominique Ropion for Éditions Malle, which also costs a staggering €1100 for 100ml... and nearly made my girlfriend gag. Well, I can't really blame her since it is a damn bombshell!
To my nose, leather, oud, patchouli, and civet are the most present, but over time, the leather recedes just a little and allows resinous, woody notes to take the stage.
The sillage is truly extreme. For context: I applied just 1 drop to my wrist two hours ago, and a roommate who came in through the door smelled it from a distance of no joke 5 meters away.
Admittedly, he has a keen nose, but I still find that astonishing.
In the drydown, it reminds me a bit of Oud 27 by Le Labo, just without those slightly fruity notes, although the Dior appears much more high-quality.
Anyone who enjoys authentic, slightly animalic Aoud should definitely give it a try, not to mention fans of lacquer & leather!
