J'Aime la Nuit La Perla 2008

Kids, I wouldn't have come across this scent on my own. But let’s start from the beginning. Recently, during my stroll through my new favorite perfumery and extensive conversations with the nice saleswoman, I asked her for an unusual fragrance. One that not everyone has. She recommended J´Aime la Nuit. Even on the strip, it smelled fantastic, but they only had a 100ml size, and I usually don’t take that, so I left her my phone number. "Call me when you have it in a smaller size and when it’s on sale." Yesterday came the "momentous" call. IT is here. Since the perfumery is on the route I had to take for work today, I picked it up. I’m in bliss.......... Is this a dream scent!
But first, I want to complete the fragrance pyramid, as it is not complete (I have the scent description from the company, haha).
Top notes: Grapefruit blossoms, Nashi pear, and paradise apple
Heart notes: Hellebore rose, black orchid, and night jasmine
Base: Cashmere wood, amyris wood, and amber

The start is already grand. A whirlwind of paradise apple and Nashi pear and the citrusy sweetness of grapefruit blossom. But not too sweet, super delicious!

But then it comes, when the base kicks in (I’m buying black lace nightwear next week) the scent-strong night jasmine (the night jasmine surpasses regular jasmine in opulence by lengths and the sultry and darkly scented black orchid. (What felt a bit one-dimensional in Black Orchid by Tom Ford becomes an olfactory delight here)
The dark and powerful flowers give way to a woody warmth. This is pure sensuality! Oh homeland, and it lasts and lasts and lasts! Even the scent strip I took back then still smells amazing.

An oriental? Not really! A winter scent? Not really. This little masterpiece is a woody-floral fragrance and certainly not mainstream! J´Aime la Nuit is a scent for an intoxicating evening, a hot night, or spring days like this, that can’t decide. Am I spring or what will I be?

And I, silly goose, only bought a 30 ml bottle.
