Awake the Disco Diva!!!
Think lycra shorts, cropped tops seductively draped to expose a shoulder shimmering with body glitter, impossible platform boots and teased hair and what comes rushing out of a bottle of Halston Night is the most impish Disco Diva you can imagine!
I'm a child of the 80's … when I look back at photos of my teenage years I grimace … and then I smile … and then I laugh delightedly at the abandon of it all! What a time of utter excess … it was just incredible! Halston Night encapsulates the feeling of those days in a few sprays!
This fragrance is a big, rich, creamy oriental base with bits and pieces of florals and citruses raising a loud voice every now and then. I've no doubt that the sample I am testing from is vintage and Halston Night is all about massive 'in-your-face-ness'. It's wonderful!! There is richness here … it is dense … emanating in never ending waves of flashing disco lights and thumping music!! This is the smell of shoulder pads and blue eyeshadow … drape trouser suits and the Hustle.
There is very little point in trying to analyse the note structure here … it's just one big mashup of fabulousness … spicy florals, tons of powder, vanillic creaminess … big and bold like the decade it belongs to!!
What a pity that such gems are relegated to the graveyard of perfume history. Find some of this if you can and " … feel loooove …" ...
