Tendre Est La Nuit - obscur Majda Bekkali 2013

I am greeted by a citrusy, very chemical resinous scent, as if I were smelling some heavily concentrated cleaning product. Oh help! For the next hour, I keep my wrists as far from my nose as possible. Slowly, a diluted version reaches me, as if a splash of the cleaning product had been added to a large bucket of water. Now it takes on a refreshing touch. O k a y! Half an hour later, I dare to bring my nose back to my wrist, and fortunately, I am now welcomed by bright, spicy incense. That is a pleasant change. This phase strongly reminds me of the recently tested "Suki Essence," which smelled of this incense throughout its duration. After some more time, I have arrived at the highly appreciated patchouli phase: softly spicy cocoa. Today, the following morning and even at noon (sprayed on yesterday evening around 9:00 PM), I can still faintly detect this bright, spicy incense.

The longevity is therefore very good, with now 15 hours - I still have a hint on my wrist. The projection after about an hour is close to the person.

Conclusion: From a dreadful start, it turns out to be a pleasant fragrance after all.
