Chypre Inferno

8.3

Nocturne · 2023

Floral · Green · Spicy

Nocturne Chypre Inferno is a floral, green and spicy chypre with animal and earthy touches, a unisex scent with a serious, classic character. Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick spring and fall, though winter is not ruled out. Leisure, night out and evening wear are favoured equally. On character, voters lean classic, with feminine and masculine close behind. It opens with clove, bergamot and aldehydes. In the heart, ylang-ylang, jasmine, iris, gardenia and narcissus build a floral body. The base of oakmoss absolute, patchouli, musk and sandalwood leaves a creamy, earthy warmth. Genny Genny and Lancôme Magie Noire have a close profile.

Tafir (Extrait)

Nocturne · 2023

Fruity · Sweet · Synthetic

Extrait de Parfum

Nocturne Tafir Extrait de Parfum is a sweet, resinous men's fragrance that sets the spice of saffron and cardamom against tobacco and Omani frankincense. It opens bright and spicy with red mandarin orange, saffron and cardamom. In the heart, Omani frankincense, dried fruits and tobacco absolute take the lead, while tolu balm and balsam fir add a resinous, slightly sharp edge. The base of tonka bean, Indian sandalwood and musk sweetens and softens it, leaving a fruity, creamy, woody impression. Voters rate both longevity and sillage as strong, though the small number of votes means this is only a rough guide. It reads as masculine, and its concentrated build keeps it noticeable through the day. Avapari Pure Amber and Al Haramain Platinum Oud have a close profile.

Hekau

6.2

Nocturne · 2024

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Nocturne Hekau is a unisex scent that carries a bright opening of bergamot, lemon and pineapple through lavender and immortelle down to myrrh and ambroxan. The top of bergamot, blackcurrant, lemon, pineapple and neroli gives a fresh, fruity, citrusy start. In the heart, lavender, osmanthus absolute and immortelle absolute move it toward floral and green. The base of myrrh, ambroxan, musk, styrax and tolu balm settles it onto a sweet, creamy, resinous and woody ground. Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though only a few people have voted, so these ratings are a first impression rather than a firm verdict. It reads neither masculine nor feminine, and suits those who like fresh and sweet in one bottle. Creed Aventus for Her and The Dua Brand 18 Shades of Bigarade have a close profile.

Seatrus

5.9

Nocturne · 2023

Fresh · Citrus · Aquatic

Nocturne Seatrus is a fresh, unisex scent that sets bright citrus against an aquatic coolness. The top notes of bergamot, Italian lemon, Sicilian cedrat zest and lime open sharp and crisp. Tangerine and guava soften the heart with a touch of fruit, while Hedione and pink lotus absolute keep it airy. The base of marine notes, sandalwood, musk and ambroxan settles into a clean, synthetic, lightly salty trail. Armaf Club de Nuit Milestone (Eau de Parfum) and Glasshouse Sunsets in Capri share a close note and accord profile.
