Nuit de Feu Louis Vuitton 2020

In my opinion, the Nuit de Feu is really rated too poorly here. There is often talk of animal components and the smell of cattle sheds. It's true that the scent is very strong and almost pungent in the first 2-3 minutes, but it becomes super mild and pleasant immediately after the dry-down.
I smell woodiness, smoke and an almost chocolaty sweetness. It all comes across as super high-quality and you can clearly tell that it contains real oud. For me, it's a very rounded and special fragrance. I wear it very often in fall and winter, almost daily (it's too heavy for spring and summer). However, you have to be aware that it makes quite a statement and you have to wear it with conviction. The feedback from my friends etc. is 30% good and 70% not really good.
I think you just have to want to like it and not be put off by first impressions. I have learned to love it and therefore don't take the opinions of others too seriously.
The sillage and longevity are really not particularly good for an oud fragrance. However, the fact that the environment usually perceives the fragrance as unpleasant is quite compatible with the idea of wearing a perfume that is almost only perceived close to the skin or subliminally.

A silent companion, so to speak.
