Oh how many fragrances I've had with me that have defined themselves as the ultimate night out fragrance or have been explicitly categorized by reviews. Everyone wants to be the seductive drop, which either in an atmospheric atmosphere attracts the eyes in the bar on itself or in the appropriate moments his person of desire to blush and lead to cuddle to his own body. Many try it, many it is said, but only a few then manage to ascend to the sizes, which actually arrive seductively at the counterpart.
Everyone may draw this line with his personal taste and everyone has his favorites, which one finds cuddly. However, it is often agreed that an evening fragrance should exude a certain warmth, softness and sweet complexity.
Often then notes such as various resins, vanilla, iris or leather are used. The combinations know no bounds, as do the tastes, although ultimately, when it comes to fragrance, taste is also determined by one's own journey of experience. My own taste has developed after so many samples and bottles to the point that I can no longer stand certain perfumes from my Parfumobeginner time.
In the realm of evening fragrances, there is this one that is always mentioned. Dior Homme, no matter the version, no matter the flanker or concentration. This fragrance is always mentioned as the shining example of the category in its overall concept. I would now like to say rightly, however, I never got to have even one of the variants under my nose until now. Therefore, I will look for parallels and comparisons to other fragrances of this genre and contrast them. My two comparison candidates with Dior Ambre Nuit and Valentino Uomo Intense but are not less known in our community.
In one respect, however, I can already spoil: the fragrance seems very seductive, warm and attractive. I feel him myself so, but also my wife has jumped directly a few compliments, which was directly positive, because she is also very picky what she likes fragrances. Therefore, I have a good feeling with the fragrance and gradually I had to inevitably think about it times to organize a bottle, which is still open to this day.
The enthusiasm can be described quickly for me. Vanilla and iris. In combination, a warm, soft and almost melting on the tongue pod is created, which sprays so incredibly much flavor. You'd think you've brushed yourself with a little crème brûlée. I feel the warmth directly on my skin, feel the creamy sweetness coat my neck in a veil of essential oils. Incredibly intense. It's joined by soft, light musk and a delicate woodiness that gives the scent a pleasant depth and longevity.
To compare to the two fragrances above, the Uomo Intense is drier, has more iris and leather touches, while the Ambre Nuit comes across as a bit sweeter and warmer, as it relies more on sweet resins.
Some of the more experienced perfumos may feel that the fragrance does have a certain simplicity or monotony to it, and that it seems somewhat arbitrary due to a lack of edges. This can not be denied, however, it may also be a straightforward fragrance that stands out alone by a wonderful simplicity or perfect balance. Because this fragrance definitely does stand out. Not by surprising or too complex notes, but its sniffed opulence and luxury, which also distinguishes many Roja fragrances. It would be presumptuous to compare this fragrance to a Roja, however, the vibe goes in a similar direction that appeals to me as a user and fragrance fan. Sometimes it's the simple things that we forget to love, even though this fragrance falls more on the luxury mainstream shelf simply because of its pricing policy from a luxury house. This does not bother me, however, provided that I am completely convinced.
My decision to worry about a bottle, you could certainly hear in my lines and also how well I like the fragrance. I had indeed more than a year ago decided to reduce the sweet-gourmand fragrances significantly (which also happened), but this fragrance seems to want to take the place that is free since the sale of my Black Phantom.
To this Black Tie I would give the personal crown of evening fragrances with signature, exclamation mark and double underscore. Because what is made here of vanilla and iris, how these are brought into harmony and mutually reinforce each other impresses me definitely.
