I wish I really loved this little moon...
I'm kind of obsessed with moon shaped items, so I really wanted to love Deep Night and add that cute bottle to my collection. But in the end I decided against it.
There are lot of things I love about this: The fuzzy peach note, which is slightly similar to good old Burberry Woman (but not identical), the warm vanilla base, the laconic apricot and the woodsy notes that add depths and a subtle hint of darkness to the scent. It's not as dark as the name suggests though, this is rather an allrounder scent than a nighttime-only blend.
I also like the night blooming floral notes, which feel very creamy and rich to me. My only criticism is that it sometimes crosses the line from creamy to oily, at that point it reminds me of a body oil or a very nourishing hair mask, which is not what I want from a perfume. It's a shame because the rest of the scent is so lovely and I still like it, but I got to be honest with myself, if this came in a different packaging I wouldn't consider buying it. It gets better as it dries down though, after a couple hours there is no oiliness left.
Regarding the masculine/unisex undertone that many get from this, I don't feel it. I mean yes, this has woody notes, but they're not overly sharp and bitter, and the vanilla, peach and apricot add a lot of soft sweetness, so the overall impression is not what I'd call manly or stereotypically unisex by any means.
