by Navitus Parfums
Soir Exclusif by Navitus Parfums is a sophisticated semi-gourmand fragrance with a prominent almond base, enriched with sweet vanilla, tonka bean, and marshmallow notes. The opening features blood orange, coffee, and almond, adding a zesty, slightly bittersweet brightness that balances the sweetness. As it develops, the fragrance evolves into a warm, powdery, and slightly smoky composition with licorice, amber, and driftwood, giving it a layered, complex character. Many note a strong resemblance to L'artisan's Noir Exquis and Parfums de Marly Pegasus, particularly in the almond and vanilla core, with a restrained, non-cloying sweetness. It stands out for its versatility and excellent longevity—projecting strongly for the first few hours and lasting beyond 8 hours, even turning into a skin-scent with time. While perceived as unisex, it leans masculine in its dry-down, with wood and musk notes becoming more prominent. Best appreciated on cool days or evenings, particularly during winter months.
