A scandal

I've been here for about 10 years now and have tested, worn and bought old and new rarities, niche fragrances, limited editions, my own creations and regional fragrances from all over the world in addition to the full mainstream designer program of the big perfume stores... many of you too. My favorites over the years have been M7 third version, Oud Wood, Aventus, chambre Noire, l'instant de guerlain eau extreme original version, Geir Ness, Dior Bois D "Argent, Dior homme intense second version, pure malt/havanne, Andy Warhole from Bond No. 9, also some Nasomattos and Parfums de Marlys and Kilians, Amouages... I'm writing this as a kind of preface so that you can get an idea of whether you also like these fragrances or whether your personal taste takes you in a completely different direction.

Night Flow:
I'll start by saying that despite being a longtime hardcore Tom Ford fan, I not only don't like Tuscan Leather, I can't stand it on me, it's one of those scents for me that I try to wash off and spray over. Yes, there is a similarity, but Night Flow lacks that biting raspberry, which could be a cherry in Night Flow. The fruitiness is clearly there, but I wouldn't suspect raspberry behind it if it wasn't listed. Night Flow is for me the best fragrance I have smelled in my life, it is a perfection of form of everything I want in a perfume. It is soft, round, sweet but not sweet, like a 20 year old Taylor Tawny Port, warm, intense and harmonious. An Oud Wood without its smokiness, an M7 without its scratchiness, a Chambre Noire without its heaviness. It is one of the strongest concentrations I have had so far and, as with Nasomatto, a single spritz is enough for the whole day and several days on clothes. Even 1 year later, I'm only just under halfway through the 78ml. In comparison, I go through a 100ml Aventus in 3 months, as I wear it twice a day with approx. 7-9 sprays.

I once wrote a review about a women's fragrance by Balenciaga that I imagine my bride at the wedding in this fragrance. Well... Night Flow was the final fragrance for my own wedding, I had smelled it for the first time a few days before and it was also relatively new, but it made it straight into the "final arena", because there are probably few events in life where you care as much about wearing the perfect fragrance as at your own wedding. Of course, this fragrance is now forever associated with a lot of memories and emotions. It has a high recognition value and is ideal as a signature fragrance. It is only too loud and present for sports, the office or the supermarket. For festive occasions, an evening date, a winter walk ... it is an absolute dream. Here below two write as a statement that it is not strong or has poor durability, I can only speak for my copy and that is overwhelmingly strong with 3 sprays that you take rooms and after hours you still smell that you were somewhere. Would be interesting to know if the statement is based on a bottle, or a bottling.

The scandal:
After such a long search, for such an incredibly good fragrance, which to my nose is a masterpiece of the century, I can hardly believe that I am the first to post a comment about it and there are no entries in the souk. I received many compliments when I wore it and without exception everyone who smelled the bottle (about 10 people in a year) commented on it with "wow........wow", "absolutely amazing", "man, that stuff smells good" and the like. Anyone who doesn't know it should consider giving it a try, I'm also very curious to see what people who also like the fragrances in my first paragraph above have to say or write about it.
