Tendre Est La Nuit - obscur Majda Bekkali 2013

I am initially very pleased with the generosity that I sometimes receive here at Parfumo. As a little extra with a fragrance package, I got some great samples and a whole 10ml bottle of this noble water. Sometimes I feel a bit guilty because I don’t know how I can repay such kindness.

Since I recently tested an unknown Majda Bekkali, I was even more curious. However, it was probably more Mon Nom Est Rouge that I had under my nose.

Tendre est la Nuit is a rather bright oriental with a good amount of incense. Ethereal and light incense. However, a lot of spiciness is added. Something definitely has a Christmas-like cinnamon quality, rounded off with a bit of pepper and a pleasant, vanillic sweetness. The scent is extremely flattering and skinny, also spicy, subtly sweet and oriental, but still transparent and rather light.
One should definitely like incense to love this fragrance, as it runs through Tendre est la Nuit permanently in a sparkling-ethereal way and is quite noticeable. I don’t recognize leather or civet, but the fragrance is at least just as good for a man to wear, absolutely unisex.

A truly wonderful scent and for me a hit. A beautiful, modern, and noble oriental with a great feel-good factor, which, despite excellent sillage and longevity, never becomes overwhelming or too intrusive, but retains a certain transparency.
