The scent has "hips"...
... because it limps on my skin. I was so looking forward to this classic. The pyramid promised so much, and on top of that, the beautiful bottle. Either I am completely scent-blind, that is, anosmic, or Nuit de L. has been utterly neutered? For the top note, which actually promised an orgiastic start, I had to literally pin my nose to my hand. Tested 4 times and then crossed off. It's sad to see such a classic, from such a renowned house, so alienated.
Much, much later - I had already crossed off the scent and had written a scathing review in my head - it comes back to me. Very skin-like and close to the body, without any sillage. Delicate and distant flowers make themselves known. A powdery hint of iris. Broom, which blooms in May and whose seeds rattle afterwards. A fine green note hops like a grasshopper over my skin.
Then it whispers only briefly: "Hello Medusa, I was once a chypre many years ago, but everything has been taken from me!".... and it's gone into scent nirvana... what a shame, sooooo, what a shame!
