And it’s such an evening, it’s such an evening
Candy confusion underneath the moonlight
It’s such an evening, such an evening

It feels becoming to recall the wildly seductive, irresistible voice of New Orleans’ beloved unhealthy boy, eclectic Dr. John (aka Malcolm John Rebennack, who very just lately handed away on June sixth) once I yield myself as much as Roja Dove’s Parfum De La Nuit No.1. Louisiana and London, you might very effectively inquire??? Each louche and lavish, the beautiful booziness of this specific perfume invitations intimacy in no unsure phrases. By all means, let’s not stand on ceremony: we’re all consenting adults right here, and the whiskey flows freely on this steamy night. My head swims, and your fragrance solely inflames the scenario with provocative twists and turns. Whisk me away, and shortly – someplace dimly lit and personal earlier than I come to my senses… though there’s little likelihood of that. I starvation for air, it feels too oppressive to breathe along with your lips hovering over my breast like errant wasps. Sting me, now. I crave you underneath cloak of darkness. Sure. Parfum De La Nuit No.1 feels identical to the above – whether or not you’re snugged up the poshest evening spot in London, manner down within the bayou or wherever crepuscular and in between. Want is common and intemporal, older than reminiscence itself and no less than as highly effective. This extrait doesn’t whisper – it’s declamatory, an olfactory oratory. Be cautious in software; just a little goes a good distance and the message can be acquired regardless. I’ve at all times most popular to ensnare through insinuation relatively than the sledgehammer method, and Parfum De La Nuit No.1 is a case-in-point.

“Want Calls When Darkness Falls”, notes Roja Dove. I’d go one additional and describe Roja Parfums Parfum De La Nuit No.1 impact as summoning as an alternative. It lures you into profoundly resinous depths of penumbra: inescapable, bewitching. With its abundance of tolu, benzoin, vanilla, tonka – you would possibly count on a syrupy confection, which is totally not what happens: keenly woody, leathery and balsamic aromas are warmed by of the diffusive glow of clove and saffron. So the place does the distinctive whiskey word come into play? No matter I’ve explored doesn’t fairly clarify it; maybe it’s the mixed impact of a number of parts and even an unmentioned materials – however it’s undeniably intoxicating. Parfum De La Nuit No.1 is clearly gender-fluid and smells marvelous on everybody: in summer time it’s going to bloom upon the flesh like mad and in autumn/winter it’s going to disseminate its warmth willingly, bearing heat whereas the local weather tells a unique story.
Notes: bergamot, cistus, clove, saffron, cypriol, patchouli, vetiver, cedarwood, guaiacwood, tolu balsam, benzoin, vanilla, tonka bean, styrax
