Nice and different vetiver interpretation

Nuit de Mégère is a fragrance that revolves around vetiver, a different interpretation of vetiver.
This is not an old fashioned scent and not even a sharp one.
The opening, without any particular character, brings to you a beautiful note of vetiver routed by iris and tonka bean which is not allowed to go sweet. There is a perfect balance. The earthy and smoky face of the vetiver is perfectly held off by the sweet tonka and the powdery iris. An hint of bitterness, probably coming from the coffe, completes the picture.
This fragrance is not loud but it is smooth and soft, it is never too much for whatever situation you have to face. A slight aurea will stay nicely around your skin without giving you headaches.
The glass of the bottle deserves an improvement: I found a lot of flaws.

Versatiler "The Original" Brother

Unlike the original, this is more versatile and thus usable throughout the year. A pleasant, not too intrusive all-rounder the sporty-green-spicy starts and ends with a soft sweetness.

The DNA is set by the original to the far back and thus not too penetrating.

H/S is good, the fragrance convinces and would also have for some to the signature potential.

Very narrow ridge

Probably for any perfumer, the combination of vetiver and coffee is a decent challenge. Somehow it does not fit together and too much of the one or too little of the other can make the whole creation seem extremely unsmooth.

In my opinion, this tricky feat has Francois Demachy with "Vetiver" for the Christian Dior Collection Privée managed exemplary. Here the ratio is optimal and serves as a prime example of this theme.
Unfortunately, the perfumer of "Nuit de Megève" is unknown, yet it should be granted that he (or the department) has also done a passable job.

At the same time, I have to confess that "Nuit de Megève" was anything but well received during my very first encounter a few weeks ago. The fragrance was just far too synthetic and pungent for me - completely unpleasant and quite unsuccessful. But well, that was sort of the pre-test and when I wore it yesterday, I was relatively well prepared for it and found it exciting and charming. Good that I have taken there a second attempt.

Nuit de Megève should by no means directly after spraying too close to the nose. Although this is generally discouraged, but in this case, the scent actually works extremely irritating. However, when it has settled or is perceived with more distance, it shows a fine fresh nuance between crisp vetiver or rather vetiveryl acetate and tangy grapefruit - underpinned with a fine layer of unsweetened coffee and tonka bean.

This has something special and is guaranteed to polarize rather with the wearer than with the environment. But if you have let yourself in on it, he leaves a positive feeling. But as already written: not too strongly question and analyze, otherwise you have rather the feeling to wear a bad synthetic mixture walk, even if you are served the good coffee a few bars later.

As I said: a very fine line ... between dissharmony and fascination. And since above-mentioned "Vetiver" is no longer offered by Dior, this Eau de Parfum has absolutely its justification.

Light version of Diors "Vetiver", due to too much tonka bean, unfortunately a little bit cardboarded

Coffee and vetiver? There was something... Yes, Dior's "Vetiver" may have served as a role model here; but after initial enthusiasm ("Vetiver and coffee!!:-)") I quickly chased him to hell because he was too oppressive, too concise, too closed to me.

Eight & Bob is a bit more sportive, a bit more light-orientated, which may be due to the rather unsweetened coffee on the one hand, and on the other hand to the shift in accent to the tonka bean.

Well, I have to say: A few years ago, I was visibly annoyed by oud and most recently by Iso-E-Super and Cashmeran, but now I'm biting my teeth out of tonka beans. She annoys me, to put it simply, in her often mushy, caramely-soft, contourless way and she manages to grind every interesting, even edgy scent with profile potential to a smooth and shallow shape
So it is here. The vetiver and the rather dark coffee hold up quite well against it for a while, but after half an hour the Tonka takes over more and more the direction and transforms the pretty initial note into a somewhat diffuse mix. Still solid and pleasantly autumnal in its basic orientation, but also a bit interchangeable. Okay. (laughs)
