A successful reformulation? South Sea feeling included
I've been familiar with that scent for quite some time. Years ago I had a sample of it when the brand was still called Une Nuit de Bali, and I had tested the fragrance extensively at the time and concluded that despite its originality I didn't need it. At that time, the smell still smelled very much of edible things: namely, a hearty, strong smell of a real spicy Indian curry with rice and also sweet. The S&H were bombastic. Scent for me was almost unbearable.
A lot of time has passed since then and now, shortly before Christmas, I get again 2 specimens of it in 2 different shops. At first I thought, "My goodness. I know him already and I don't like him. I'd prefer something else to try." But then I carefully tested the fragrance again at home. And she-he comes across very differently now that the brand is called Une Nuit Nomade. (Unbelievably, I compared the two fresh specimens with old leftovers and looked at posts on the foreign perfume lovers' site, and my suspicions seem to be justified. There are also other people out there who have noticed this change, sometimes with benevolence, sometimes with dissatisfaction about the loss of the perfume's originality :
The fragrance is now a real South Sea dream: sweet it has remained, but the sweetness comes from the tropical flowers and pollen, from frangipani and jasmine. A hint of rice still hovers in the air, but now it is a sweet jasmine rice cooked in coconut milk. And salt! A salty hint of the ocean that lends a pinch of intimate depth to the whole fragrance that is a skin scent. Towards the base, the fragrance becomes powdery and remains largely sweet.
The durability has deteriorated. The fragrance lasts for about 5 hours on the skin, after that the scent is a touch of sweetness. The Sillage has become considerably worse compared to the old version, but in return the fragrance is now completely suitable for office use as a skin scent with a minimal amount of Sillage. And more Sillage could probably get on your nerves quickly with the smell.
Feminine is a big word there, I think. But I can be wrong
Conclusion: I like the new version better than the old one. It has a relaxed South Sea holiday feeling instead of an Indian restaurant flair. Only the durability is unfortunately, in my opinion, a shame for this price
