Nights Of Rain And Stars Jean Poivre 2021

So, now I will still write a review, after I already wrote a short statement a few days ago.

In a drugstore I trust, which occasionally has some interesting niche labels alongside a few designer classics or new releases, I received this sample.

Shortly after spraying it on my wrist, I have a kind of syrupy gingerbread and Christmas market association. It quickly develops into a “labdanum” amber-vanilla.
I also perceive a bit of nutgrass and osmanthus.
My fragrance experience transports me to a delicious gourmet fair, where the most luxurious treats, including fine spirits and autumn-winter sweet delicacies, are offered for tasting.
Booze is not listed anywhere in the fragrance pyramid, nor is the - for me - quite clear licorice note that slowly crystallizes in the drydown.
All in all, I find this fragrance so far the best from the brand Jean Poivre. For me, it definitely has something gourmand. Although I can't really identify a significant fragrance progression, I find the scent solid.
In any case, it has never developed an unpleasant note on my skin and it dances with me so sweetly and joyfully in the swirling autumn leaves or the first snow flurries.

I can recommend sweet-tooths to test the fragrance and hope that it is enjoyed just as much.
Edit: Just today, this otherwise delicious fragrance, which lasts for hours, developed a somewhat “sweaty” note for me towards the end, meaning when I can only smell it closely. This word would probably describe it best.
Unfortunately, I have experienced this off note with other Jean Poivre fragrances on certain days, always towards the end of the drydown.
Okay, too bad. But I will still wear what I have left of the fragrance as long as it is enjoyable.
Either I will enhance it with a specially created layering combo, try something out, or otherwise I will just wash it off.

Hello everyone!

Today I want to share a review of "Nights Of Rain And Stars | Jean Poivre," which was my first fragrance from the niche world. I discovered it almost a year ago in Switzerland and fell in love with this scent. I actually didn't plan to buy a fragrance; I just wanted to browse a bit, but it was all over for me. I was drawn to the scent by a very nice saleswoman in the perfumery, as I had neither heard of the house Jean Poivre nor the fragrance itself. It was only long after my purchase that I heard some very negative opinions regarding Jean Poivre, which I can't really relate to. For me, both the scent and the packaging are very high-quality and well-executed!

About the scent:
This fragrance creates a sense of well-being in me! It starts with peppery notes and becomes woodier over time. I also strongly perceive Ambroxan and musk in the drydown, which I personally enjoy. I am still somewhat younger and find it perfect for my age. I think for older individuals, it might be a bit too youthful. For me personally, it was/is the perfect entry into the niche world, as it is not overly complicated and very easy to wear. Nights Of Rain And Stars reminds me of designer fragrances, but with much better longevity/sillage than most. Right after spraying, I get some La Nuit de L'Homme Eau de Toilette vibes, which I find very nice, as this is my favorite designer fragrance.
As mentioned, the longevity/sillage is definitely very good. I want to illustrate this with a small example: I wore this fragrance in the evening at the thermal spa, and on the way home, I could still perceive the scent, which I find quite remarkable. But even in everyday life, it easily lasts through the evening. This is probably due to the high concentration of fragrance oils, as it is an Extrait de Parfum, although the exact concentration is not known, which I find unfortunate. But this seems to be part of the concept, as the perfumer is also not known. This all seems to belong to the story that is told about "Jean Poivre," with individual stories about the fragrances and generally an interesting narrative about the house. How much one wants to believe all of this is up to each individual, but I found it very amusing. I like to wear Nights Of Rain And Stars when going out in the evening or when it is generally not so warm outside anymore. In these situations, it suits me best.

Additionally, I want to praise the packaging, which was just amazing to me back then, as I was not used to something like this from designers. The bottle also has a nice weight and a different, creative shape.

So in conclusion, I am still thrilled with the fragrance and do not regret the purchase at all, especially since I got it at a very good price. In my opinion, this fragrance is great for younger individuals who want to take the first step into the world of niche without immediately buying something too overwhelming.

So goodbye and take care of yourselves :)

I was at my favorite perfume store Wigger yesterday and discovered this scent. I first sprayed it on the fragrance strip to get an initial impression - then I sprayed it on my wrist. I can only say -Wow-.
It was a freshness that unfolded wrapped in a dark aura. It was a feeling that made sensuality and deep introspection present. For a moment, I felt a gentle well-being within me. The scent development became woody and spicy after about 15 minutes, revealing a masculine side. The fragrance calms down after about 20 minutes and then behaves very linearly. I keep smelling my arms. If you get this scent, just spray a few drops on; it lasts incredibly well on my skin. Give it a try.
Best regards,
Jörg
