1992 Purple Night
by Les Bains Guerbois
1992 Purple Night is a profoundly opulent, sweetly intoxicating fragrance that centers on rich tuberose, layered with amber, tobacco, and a hint of patchouli. It evokes a velvet, vintage aura—like stepping into a secluded club in winter, where smoke and floral syrup mingle in the air. The scent is deeply feminine but carries a smoky, mature character that makes it wearable across genders, particularly in autumn and winter. It's loud and wonderfully present—sillage is strong and the longevity is long, making it ideal for night wear and occasions where impact matters. While the sweetness can be overwhelming for some, especially in warm weather, those who enjoy dense, opulent florals like Tuberose Flash or Angel Muse will find much to appreciate. It feels expensive and luxurious, with a night-time drama that matches its name.
