The glow of the fire and the smell of the fireplace
I have always associated Nuit d'éte by Joop with Christmas. in 1992, at the age of 15, I could afford the fragrance because I was working. For me, this fragrance was fire through and through. Warming, impulsive and intense.
I could always smell the cherry, which is not listed, the warm heliotrope, the golden honey, balsamic dark notes and a touch of vanilla completed the pleasure, which lasted for many hours.
Nuit d'éte was a fire, an open fire. The emblem of the fragrance was a seductive cinnamon note that reminded me of Christmas, which merged with the other notes over time.
You can't create something like that nowadays. It was perfection, a niche fragrance at the time "disguised" as a designer fragrance.
Despite the Christmassy aromas, I always have an image in my mind's eye when I spray on the fragrance: it's a balmy summer night (fitting for the name) deep in the night. Sometime in August. The crickets are chirping, a couple kissing intimately, sheltered under a tree.
The Kelly Family song "Fell in love with an Alien" goes well with this fragrance as a song. For me, Nuit d'éte is the feminine version of the vintage fragrance Joop Homme. Both are similar and therefore good to wear if you have both as vintage. As I said, I like and love both fragrances as vintage fragrances.
A lucky person is the one who has this elixir of a summer night as a fragrance, where anything can happen. I bow to this work of art.
