Wow!!! I'm in love. This fragrance hit me like a arrow straight from cupids bow. Labdanum! a princely, opulent slap in the face of resinous beauty I knew right away this was going to be special. Then tart glimpses of another of my favourite notes...rhubarb! Apparently? I'll go with that... It's not the biggest but there's something like that in the opening. Then the heart starts to get really gourmand it goes from a gorgeous almondy/white chocolate thing to a wheaty, milky kind of smell. Then the spice element starts to reign that sweetness in giving a bit of a savoury spicy feel. Complex, warm and base heavy vibes finish off a dream fragrance for me... Nuit Epicee is magic! It's a minor shame the drydown is not as good as that superb opening...infact probably my FAVOURITE OPENING EVER! Gorgeous, amazingly long lived, easy 12hr+ and subtle sillage which gives you a nice little breeze every now and again. I'm stunned by this stuff, darkly gourmand, woody, resinous a bit like two other favourites of mine Armani Myrrhe imperial and Nasomatto Black Afgano but with an edible twist! Brilliant!!!!
