Very close to the original
Ombre Nomade - one of the most hyped fragrances ever in recent years. I could never quite follow the hype, but I think this LV release is great and understand the enthusiasm of many. Especially those who prefer this alpha vibe with lots of oriental notes are in good hands with this one. 360€ for 100ml? The reason why many are looking for an alternative, especially since you theoretically can't wear this very versatile. The market is full of clones that roughly capture the DNA but look quite cheap and synthetic. This Royal Night is a very clear recommendation from me. Not a 1:1 Ombre Nomade, but extremely high-quality and catchy.
The Woods Collection is a brand from Dubai that is not even as cheap as many other "clone houses" from Dubai. I don't know if they are deliberately cloned here, but in addition to this ON there are also Layton and Delina alternatives. In any case, they are made to a very high standard with niche quality. These fragrances are not that cheap either. Fragrances from the Natural range cost between 50 and 60€, in the official store even the equivalent of 175€ per 100ml. However, the stock on the German market is full and the price is simply top.
Packaging is typical Dubai: beautiful box with travel atomizer included for filling. The box is high quality and the bottles in the Natural range are also extremely good. Great label, magnetic lid, solid glass and good atomizer.
As I said, the fragrance is a great alternative to Ombre Nomade. Not 1:1, I even like this one a little bit better. It is well-balanced, elegant and a little bit milder. This fragrance changes only minimally, which I like. You get a great oud fragrance that is perfectly balanced with incense and leather. There is also a subtle rosy note in the background, but it is buried by this strong oriental. As in Ombre Nomade, a soft raspberry is also present. In addition, soft wood.
All in all, a great fragrance that is certainly about 80% close to Ombre Nomade. I find this Royal Night a little more sensual and not so much of a crowbar.
Performance doesn't quite come close to its role model, which I also like. Too long lasting bothers me (over 12 hours) and also the sillage is better suited to this DNA in many situations. This fragrance is best worn in the evening or simply in your free time.
Overall, you probably won't get any fewer compliments with this fragrance than the LV. If you can do without the status symbol and are looking for a P/L monster, you won't be disappointed. Absolute recommendation.
