I'm a huge fan of this line but By Night Black is probably the most disappointing delivery among their range. I'm used to either their thickness (Ambra Mediterranea, Versilia Platinum, Versilia...
I've tried this many times, I never understood why it stands out or sells so much. That bitter orange is repulsive and disgusting. This smells almost as bad as Guerlains Vetiver.
I don't like to factor in cost when reviewing a fragrance but for the ridiculously cheap price, this stuff is great! Smells similar to Armani Code but better. Might buy another bottle
TVlampboy declared Or des Indes as the elegant richer sister of Bal a Versailles,( but not the older) This is repeated by other enthusiasts on on other blogs. It is spot on. Bal is Zsa Zsa and Or...
Let me first say that Eau de Kananga is a brilliant but not mind-blowing scent. Eau de Kananga, at least the Rigaud version, is not a feminine fragrance and in reality a unisex if not exclusively...
Smooth scent with a pleasant leather drydown - these being the impressions after one single testing, still have to try more of it, in order to qualify its longevity/projection/sillage.
Hang on. Were you asking about the female-marketed or the POUR HOMME? If it's the latter, I say you're probably better off not knowing. It's a migraine-inducing mess. I wouldn't want to go anywhere near it. But it's probably perfect for a day at the office...in an insecticide production plant.
I just had this forced upon me at Macy's. They just had meetings on it so if you are near a Macys, get ready for a full assault. "First italian scent from this designer, all year long, ladies love it....." To me it was better suited for Fall or Winter and had a heavy spice and leather drydown that then faded quick. Not bad but not good either for my first whiff. But I always try things over and over so we will see.

It's true that one has to test and retest! At first this scent was very common but I learned to appreciate it's leather drydown. It's a very good working scent for me. I own a FB now.

Good to hear. I might have to give it a test run again next week.
