Stunning

This scent is elegant in a natural, ethereal sort of way. To me it feels like playing a piano on a summer evening, lacquered wood, ebony keys, with soft rose and heady white flowers coming in on the breeze through a window.

The opening of this on me is definitely funky (it has a subtle wet woodchip + manure pile smell), but it slowly blooms into a gorgeous woody floral. The rose gives it subtle freshness, there’s some narcotic/heady white flowers, and a rich elegant woody base. The oud in this reminds me strongly of ebony wood. Everything in this scent feels like it came from the natural world. It’s just beautiful.

deadofnight, or it is always darkest before dawn

I wanted to try it for too long. Finally, last month, I bought a sample set of the house, and I was over the moon at least having a chance to get my nose on it.

I have to tell you, I loved every single perfume from the collection. All of them are very unique, deep, creative, and take me to places. That is why I want to tell you about them separately.

deadofnight was my first sniff, and it proved to me one more time: never test perfumes on the paper. I know we don’t have enough skin to try many fragrances on at once, but the blotters may ruin the scent for you forever.

I tested this perfume on paper, and it was super oudy animalic. And it stayed on the paper this way. I usually like oud, but this one, I thought, will be too challenging for me to wear. So I was dragging my feet preparing for full wear.

And I am so happy I finally sprayed it on myself.

Yes, the opening is a little challenging. Strong, dark oud bites and stuns. But it takes just a few minutes until it becomes softer as if I trained it. I start smelling light flowers, as if in the early morning when they are still wet from the dew.

I know that dead of night is midnight, but to me, this scent is mostly about the minutes before dawn. They say that it is always darkest before dawn, right? And so, the perfume opens in a very dark way. And then it gets brighter and brighter, as the dawn breaks.

The base is about stunning vanilla with some musk and incenses. There are amber and sandalwood listed as well but I don’t pick them much. Of course, the oud leaves its traces here and there, as long as the scent is alive on my skin. But it is not so angry, and not so challenging as I first thought.

One of the best fragrances of its kind

Composition repeated many times, but for me this work is among the best, made by a master perfumer that I love Christphe Laudamiel

They are three ouds, Borneo, Cambodja and Thailand masterfully mixed, with a heart of rose and white flowers, all this holding with a wonderful sandalwood scent, making it a sexy and playful scent.

Excessively high price, it is a good reason to try before you buy, it will surely be one of the fragrances without middle ground that you love or hate.

Best oudh scent I have tried

deadofnight is incredible! This oudh is much more elegant than the others I have tried; I love the richness of the oudh mixed with the woody, musky amber and rose. The scent unfolds beautifully throughout the day, lasts a full 24 hours on my skin and always elicits compliments. deadofnight is completely unique and smells like nothing else...Christophe Laudamiel and Helena Christensen have outdone themselves!

Strangelove / dead of night

The second of three fragrances from the Strangelove NYC collection that I like. A work also by Christophe Laudamiel. A fragrance at the center of which we also have agar (this time from Borneo) mixed with flowers, which again work well with vanilla and resins to soften the spicier agar opening of the perfume. Here we have jasmine, violet, which I particularly sense, and in the background...rose. The rose here is a quiet background and this blend does not bring to mind the simple and cheap solutions of the "oud+rose" cycle. That is NOT present here. As I mentioned-we have still perceptible vanilla-sweetened resins here. I don't know how Christophe achieved yet another effect, but I can sense smoke here.
I definitely position the fragrance among the top, elegant and smoothed agaric solutions for a wide audience, not just for agarophiles. Lasts a long time- up to 10 hours.
