You can have that tropical feeling without coconut!
My fragrance journey continues with Une Nuit. After a few trips to Oman, we are back in Bali today. Today's fragrance is poetically translated as "The Whisper of the Gods" and, according to the enclosed card, pays homage to the frangipani flower, which is often used in Hinduism as a sacrifice and to decorate the numerous temples and is therefore also omnipresent on Bali, the "island of a thousand temples".
So much for the background to the fragrance. But what do I smell? The opening is creamy and floral for me and the frangipani is actually very present from the start. It's very sweet, but pleasant if not overdosed.
As it progresses, it becomes even more floral when ylang-ylang and hedione with its jasmine note are added, whereby the first two flowers are clearly more present than the jasmine note and together create and reveal a pleasant tropical fragrance: Tropical feeling is also possible without coconut!
In contrast to the previous fragrance, the drydown is downright subtle. I hardly reach for the base notes here, rather the actual frangipani ylang-ylang fragrance simply becomes quieter and quieter until it disappears completely, perhaps a touch creamier than before.
In relation to the inspiration and the theme, I would have liked to perceive the elemi resin and the resins from the base more, then the "temple impression" would have been stronger, so I find the fragrance a nice sweet tropical scent for everyday use.
