Weighed and light felt.
Since Elie Saab poured a whole barrel of orange blossom concentrate over our heads with "Le Parfum", I have been at war with this note. This is also the reason why I can't really get warm with L'Heure de Nuit, if Thierry Wasser is also more careful with this fragrance. Among other things, it is noted that the fragrance is identical to L'Heure Bleue - Le Zenith, who in turn celebrates the anniversary of L'Heure Bleue. Apart from that, I've long resented Guerlain's new editions with a different name - just from the different editions that are all related or identical to Guet-Apens, I get dizzy. But that's just by the way.
When I try to hide this background, L`Heure de Nuit is actually a floral scent with no corners or edges. Flattering, tenderly powdery and more skilful in handling the notes than is the case with many an orange blossom scent. But that's it for me already and that's not enough anymore.
In my opinion, the comparison of L'Heure Bleue and L'Heure de Nuit is symptomatic of the comparison between the "old" guerilla scents and the Thierry water age. While L'Heure Bleue with the carnation and the violet develops a magically melancholic, rather dark and mysterious mood, L'Heure de Nuit with the omnipresent orange blossom is a flower dream for me, but for me has no recognition value. The scent is noble, Thierry Wasser knows his trade, but I wouldn't think of Guerlain first in a blind test and certainly not of nighttime romance.
Of course, it is difficult to try to build on a great legacy with a perfume. To grind down the inherited treasures but their peculiarities is not the right way for me.
