Club de Nuit Intense

Club de Nuit Intense is a dark, opulent rose-oud fragrance with a heavy, gourmand base of vanilla and patchouli. It opens with a sharp, medicinal burst of rose and spice that settles into a deep, velvety rose heart, warmed by saffron, pepper, and oud. The dry-down is rich, warm, and slightly powdery with gilded vanillic sweetness and a soft amber-oud resonance. While some find the initial burst overwhelming or overly floral, most agree it evolves into a stunningly sophisticated and long-lasting scent. Its projection is moderate to strong, performance is excellent with many reporting up to 12 hours, and longevity is ideal for winter evenings and formal occasions. The scent is potent and unapologetically luxurious, capable of turning heads and being admired on well-worn skin or clothing. It is frequently compared to Tom Ford's Noir de Noir, with most reviews finding it a near-perfect alternative at a fraction of the cost. While it may lack the ethereal depth or endless complexity of the original, it captures the core essence of a gothic, smoky rose with incredible value. The bottle, though criticized as unattractive, is heavy and substantial. Despite occasional reports of reformulation issues or sensitivities, the overall consensus is that this is an exceptional perfumer for the price.
