Woody incense amber but
Incense, woodsy and amber notes at one side to make roughness; Jasmine, tuberose, neroli and narcissus at the other to make indolic atmosphere. There's no surprise for the weird opening of bicycle shop and new bicycle tire smell!
Nuit at the first step lives in paradoxical and unbalanced aura. Then after about an hour it settles in amber accords with vanilla and tonka bean, plus woodsy and incense accords.

For few minutes I imagined how to wear it? How and where a woman should wear it? Maybe a daily fragrance for late spring before new year comes.

Longevity: 6/10, unless you consider the looong lasting base of Iso E Super.
Sillage: 5/10, daily I said! Daily fragrances don't need to fly massively.
Scent: 5/10 not bad, nor so interesting.

Flowery oriental
Very nice perfume from Lacroix and Avon. Can easily compete with other known Orientals since is very long lasting, excellent packaging and afordable price. I have a wonderful experience with all of the Lacroix perfumes. This is an incensy/jasmine perfume with real depth and at the same time very aromatic without being at all heady. I use it even in summer. Please try and will not be dissapointed!!

No special achievement
Synthetic musks are the key element of fabric softeners and some of the new variants I smelled recently seem to resemble "Nuit" by Christian Lacroix.
"Night" consists of an accord of strong florals (jasmine, tuberose) which is tamed by amber and musk, a lighter, less complicated "Alien", but not distinctive enough to compete with the famous bestseller. As the topic of a strong floriental for the "night out" = "NUIT" is something perfumers have returned to time and again for nearly 20 years now, you need to be extremely inventive in order to come up with something less generic than this average scent by Avon/Lacroix. "Nuit" is no special achievement. Btw, staying power is excellent, this fragrance lasts and lasts (like many other Avon scents I tried). I have to disagree with reviewer FunkyTomo here.

Nice enough affordable scent , but no longlevity
I think Avon were trying for an "Alien" vibe when they created this. Nice packaging and chunky bottle , but its a shame the scent doesnt last!

Theres definitley a jasmine/wood/amber accord in this , similar to alien , but "Nuit" is far more discreet. Not to be confused as an "ALien" substitute as its is both similar but also different enough for it to not be a straight "copy cat" fragrance. Suitable for cool/cold weather and evening wear.

On my skin this scent lasts all of 30mins , which is a big dissapointment as it is a nice scent. Shame as I do like the actual scent and the bottle , I know its inexspensive , but I want even cheap perfumes to last longer than 30min. If it was a stronger and longer lasting it would be an affordable winner.

I have many Avon scents , I find them hit and miss .
This is a miss , unfortunatley.
