Night Flower, from Eris Parfums was released in 2016. The perfumer behind this creation is Antoine Lie. It has the top notes of Bergamot, Birch, and Cardamom, middle notes of Cinnamon, Suede, and Tuberose, and base notes of Musk, Patchouli, and Tonka Bean.
So this perfume is really not what I was expecting from something called night flower. That name suggests to me a big, indolic, searchlight jasmine, or a sopping wet tuberose, and I braced myself for nightblooming impact, but in actuality it's much more subdued. Night flower is a musky, mildly vanillic, floral perfume. Smells fleshy like orris and tonka. In fact it smells like tonka absolute as apposed to just coumarin or a usually much sweeter tonka accord. There's something perfect about the sweetness of real tonka and this perfume showcases it delicate nature perfectly. The opening few minutes do have a salty tuberose but it's more like that very delicate from enfluerage kinda stuff not a brutal indolic power house, or sweetened, bubblegum, affair. Tuberose is actually fascinating in it's facets and diversity as a perfume material. Here it's very fleeting and slight, but I like that. The drydown is really cuddly, musky, I personally really like it, it's rounded and creamy and base heavy, and although sadly I have a bit of a cold today or I think It would be a bit more present, it's a very subtle, skin scent, which occasionally emanates, lovely little wafts, it's a very personal fragrance for you or someone that gets very close. I've just noticed comparisons to musc ravageur....nah! I get that if I had to stick them in a subgenre together, I would , or descriptions in a review like this will be largely the same ballpark, but don't think this is a clone or riff on musc ravageur because it's not even close. I like it a lot, doesn't massively excite me but it's great quality perfume and an absolute pleasure to wear.
