Flower Nectar and Biscuit Pastry

Nuit Andalouse is simple, yet beautiful and extremely feminine. Floral, sensual, soft, and delicious. The gardenia is at the forefront, and in a blind test, I would have suspected that jasmine contributes significantly as well. Definitely a lush, full floral note, accompanied by a vanillic and slightly honeyed sweetness. This combination is very lovely, making me think more of flower honey, nectar - alone, the flower would probably be too meaty and harsh for me.

Despite this sweetness, the fragrance does not feel sticky at all, but rather relatively transparent and even somewhat fluffy. In the background, this vanilla reminds me a bit of a light, soft biscuit pastry.

In the base, it seems to me that something ambery has also been incorporated. The scent rests on a slightly balsamic base, which gives it a somewhat more oriental feel.

I am not familiar with the Jil from 1997, perhaps I would be disappointed then. And of course, Nuit Andalouse does not smell exactly like a night in Andalusia.

It also does not reach the opulence and high-quality appeal of the Chypre Palatin by MDCI, which I appreciate - even though they are completely different fragrances.

However, Nuit Andalouse is a beautiful women's scent. It feels harmoniously composed and quite valuable, but at the same time somewhat tailored; like surprisingly well-made mainstream. Yet precisely for this reason, it could certainly elicit a compliment or two.

What does Jil smell like in Andalusia?

Andalusian nights are full of fragrance and warmth. The breeze from the sea, which caresses the skin like silk and carries the fresh scent of seawater inland, the jasmine and night jasmine (Dama de Noche), competing with each other to see which flower has the more beautiful scent, the roses that absorbed the golden sun during the day and now release it again with their fragrance, the lavender in all the gardens and at every corner, lilies and trumpet flowers, geraniums everywhere on every balcony, and the pines up on the hill, warmed by the sun, complement the scene with a warm, slightly resinous cloud that has absorbed the scent of the citrus trees.

The old road from Granada to the Mediterranean coast winds between the rocks of the Sierra Nevada foothills, covered on the left and right with huge rosemary bushes, further down fig trees with ripe fruits follow, and suddenly a fox stands in the middle of the road and looks at me. It goes to the small waterfall that springs from between the rocks and disappears into the ground to drink. It looks at me one more time and then disappears over the hill among the pines. I follow suit and also drink from the waterfall, whose water tastes sweet like flower nectar.

Andalusia at night, where in the silence of the countryside only the leaves of the olive trees rustle and at the coast the surf of the sea sings its monotonous, eternal song.

So, this beloved Andalusia must smell like a fragrance called Nuit Andalouse. And I was very much looking forward to this test...

...but what I got was Jil Sanders "Jil" from 1997, just a bit richer, sweeter, and tonka-heavy, and I feel after the tests as if I have snacked too much on chocolatey sweets.

As much as it pains me, Nuit Andalouse smells as little like the Andalusian night as hand cheese does of violets...

The scent is sexy - You never stop learning

At first, it was a favorite fragrance, but now there are more and more favorite scents, and the same question arises again and again: Which one will it be today?

How am I feeling, what do I have planned, what could fit?

Well, for shopping, it should be a bit more elegant yet still warm. An elegant cozy scent. After all, the days are getting cooler, and the cuddle bug needs warmth. So the choice is quickly made. An elegant fragrance with a cozy factor, not too sweet, not intrusive but pleasantly noticeable. A scent that one cannot imagine anyone finding unpleasant. Every time I ask at my regular perfume shop, it seems to be sold out. Not that they don’t have it, just not when I want it :(. Luckily, I was able to get it at the souk, but having a backup never hurts.

The top note starts beautifully for me. A hint of orange and a violet with leaf. Dreamy, as the orange gives the violet such a lovely character. And even when the balanced floral splendor of the heart note comes in, I can still perceive the violet in the background. The flowers are warm and lovely and incredibly harmonious. Like a warm summer night when the flowers release their fragrance. Like a heartfelt hug when people meet who like each other. Of course, the finish is tender and warm as well. A dream scent and not just for nights.

Yes, it fits, it was allowed to accompany me. And as it happens, the world is sometimes very small, sometimes too small. So the disliked acquaintance with her companion spotted me from afar; I would have liked to avoid her, but it was too late. A few polite phrases, and then came the question of all questions. So, have you bought anything? A new scent, huh? And before I could answer, the comment followed. Well, it’s okay, or how do you find it, darling? A question almost screamed with a corresponding warning glance in the direction beside her. Well, it’s okay, I replied quietly, which brought a satisfied smile to my beloved’s face. Ah yes, always this competition among women. If my beloved had said something different, the evening would have turned into a disaster, and a love withdrawal for the next few weeks would have been programmed. They walked on satisfied, and I finally went shopping with my beautiful scent. That she liked it, I was now sure :). Not even a month later, I run into my beloved, this time alone. Polite and exuberant greeting. As luck would have it, I was wearing the same scent that day. Hmmmmm, you smell soooo good, so tempting, so sexy. Haaaa? Sooo good, sexy? Tempting?

Do I now have to rethink my scent classification? Elegant, warm, beautiful yes, but sexy? You never stop learning. And when the muzzle is off, even a so-so scent can suddenly become a hit :). She would also really like it on my wife. What kind of scent is that? Where can I get it? Would you tell me?

Of course. The scent is called: Siberian Nights, it’s not expensive. I bought it over in Germany, in the big store with E..., you surely know which one I mean.

Yes, sure, maybe we’ll go there next Saturday, I’ll have to check and surprise her with it. She would surely be happy.

Ooo yes, I’m sure of that, I wish you much pleasure in searching :))).
