Mixed gourmand with a slightly feminine, floral-ish twist
Navitus Parfums Serenade is one of the house’s relatively recent collaborations (along with Aubade) with Bowtie Fragrance Guy, a rather sweet blend featuring orange blossom, cognac, honey, chocolate, woods, patchouli, and tonka, not quite as deep or dark as prior releases like BBB’s Soir Exclusif or Exalt. It feels like it has a bit of a floral vibe, as well, though with only the orange blossom listed, I imagine what I’m detecting is the mix of orange blossom, musk, and perhaps patchouli. It leans a little toward that candied floral vibe on my skin, however, and it’s an aspect that renders the fragrance a bit feminine-leaning, though still overall a quite unisex semi-gourmand.
Overall, I think it’s a nice sweet entry in the line that is pretty agreeable, with very good performance, and pairs nicely with the Aubade as perhaps the nighttime to Aubade’s daytime. The pricing is the line’s mostly-standard $195 for 100ml though there are significant discounts available currently on the website.
