L'Heure de Nuit Guerlain for women

Amazing presentation for a juice that can be totally forgotten. This is a new L'heure bleu, softened, simplified and watered down.

For the first 1h more or less you can totally smell L'heure bleu there, as said, softened, and the Iris and a note that to me smells like violets are more prominent than in it's bigger sister. It is also slightly more powdery.

Then the downfall begins....it starts to fade rather quickly an it turns bitter..i don't know which note it is, but it emerges as something totally bitter..the violet/iris is totally gone by that time.

Exquisite opening (but not necessary as L'heure bleu already exists), pitiful drydown, even more pitiful projection and sillage....4h and it is totally gone..and we are talking about a perfume that costs 200€.....ridiculous...for that price veter get Tonka Imperiale, Mon precieux nectar, spiritueuse double vanille.....

I have L'heure Bleu and L'heure de Nuit and I love them both. I had LB for a couple of months but has only recently started to appreciate its complexity and melancholy. It is a beautiful fragance but it feels very private and not somethng I can wear all the time. LdN, on the other hand, first caught my attention with the gorgeous bottle and distinctive violet juice. When I first tested it, I didn't detect any resemblance to LB. it's soft and comforting. Only as it dries down then I get faint notes of LB. I fell in love with it because of its subtlety. It's warm, comforting and familiar, it's almost like wearing a veil - it gives me a little privacy but I can wear it anytime. Needless to say, I convinced ,myself I needed it. :)

Seems people are trying to compare it to L'heure Bleu. This is not a flanker, they are different fragrances with similar names that´s all.

I really wanted to like this because it is a tiny bit reminiscent of my lovely L'Heure Bleue but it stops far short of being anywhere near as good as the original. I wore it on my skin for many hours today so I have given it a good trial.

This is worse in my opinion than Chanel's forgettable new 1932. And here's why. Although there is a faint signature of L'heure Bleue discernable in this juice, there isn't any of the gorgeous warm amber, spice and vanilla that warm the original and make it so beautiful. This is a watery medicinal smelling cologne like mixture.

This scent is so unfulfilling and almost bitter- it feels empty. None of the notes listed above can really be discerned at all and I think I have a pretty good nose.

Please don't even think about spending all this money for L'heure Nuit without trying a sample first.

This is beautiful!!! Not as complex as L'heure bleu. This is more like an introduction to a new Guerlain afficionado. I am considering to buy it instead of L'heure bleu. Why? Only to "be more modern" or not to offend too many noses. But if I want to really be true to myself, I should go for the real thing. L'heure bleu is amazing and so layered. I have not appreciated it in past times. Now revisiting past memories I discovered its true beauty. Let me ponder on this one.... but I think I am voting for myself, against the "fashion"!!! :) That said, by no means I want to call this a "cheap" compromise. This is a beautiful modern rendition of a classic!

At the very first look it looks amazing.
As I saw the picture I thought that was blue the glass of the bottle, but please, give a synthetical & strong colouration to a liquid is more suitable for a cheap bath foam/soap dish or for a Coty-Gaga fragrance than a Guerlain.

Moreover L'heure bleau means: the blue hour, that hour of light without an actual sun in the sky, before the night.
Pure poetry.
L'heure de nuit doesn't mean anything, everybody knows the night has many hours. Pure rational business choice.
And let people come close to a difficult masterpiece like l'heure bleue with a rebuilt fragrance into a big bottle of 270 dollars sounds pretty provocative.

No.
Rejected.

P.S.: And what about the addiction of Wasser for carie's perfumes? It' seems here we are again!
