Nuits Indiennes Jean-Louis Scherrer for women

I must admit, that my nose must be making some tricks to me (so strange, since i don´t smoke). Lately i have tried once again the EDT version of "Nuits indiennes" and i must admit that while it is still very close to the regular "Nuits de Scherrer", they are still not complelty the same, especailly after opening notes. While being a bit too harsh after applying it, the "Indiennes" version has more of that "milky hazelnut" feeling to me. I guess it is the tonka bean, which in EDT version of this fragrance is not that dominant like in EDP version. In EDP this one is actually more prominent, especially on the drydown, but in EDT i can smell a lot of musk, jasmine and also some bergamot (all combined together which give me an aplle vinegar feeling at the beginning). No rose to my nose in this fragrance, o heliotrope that my nose can detect, BUT a lot of sandalwood and cedar!!! Still the mandarine orange note at the beginning distracts me a bit, i would really prefer it not to be in the composition, since it distracts this beautiful scent a lot in the opening.
To me "Indiennes" developes more than regular "Nuits" and i still must confess that i love it much more. Especially in EDP version of it.

Well, i am a bit confused now. My first rendez-vous with this fragrance started with the mini in EDP concentration and i really liked it. So i bought myself the 50ml bottle but in EDT concentration AND it smells absolutly the same as the regular "Nuits Scherrer"!!!! I have 50ml of regular "Nuits" also in EDT concentration and don´t like it (see my review for it), so i was really dissapointed when i realized that they are completly the same fragrances (at least for my nose). But then i have found a big bottle of EDP concentration and it has everything what i liked it for. The woody factor with spices. The EDT concentration lacks the woody note that makes me go crazy.
So now i am totally confused, could it be that "Nuits" and "Nuits Indiennes" are indeed same fragrances only renamed? I haven´t smelled the EDP version of regular "Nuits" and afraid to purchase it since i might not like it and it will be a waste of money.......
Can anyone help with this quest? Does anyone have regular "Nuits" and "Nuits Indiennes" both in EDT and EDP versions so can compare them all? A help is definitly needed! SOS!!

I have had Nuits Indiennes in my collection for some months and is one now that I would definitely replace once finished.
This is a complex, multi layered rich oriental that twists and turns on the skin, delightful at every stage. The base really takes the drivers seat here with civet at the steering wheel. The flowers and spices swirl in and around the civet until you reach your destination of vanilla heaven.

Do whatever it takes to find this discontinued treasure.

This is very oriental fragrance and i smell a lot of spices and wood in it. First impression (sniff from the bottle): I do not like it, it is too deep and heavy for me, but then after application and few minutes later it all settles down and you feel a spicy note dominating with some wood note. It becomes very pleasant and intriguing. The drydown is more in opposite is more wood than spice.
I wold say if you wear that fragrance, then wear velvet clothes, they will fit together perfectly! A lot of gold (!)jewerly and heavy make-up with glamourous hair-do is a perfect accessory for this fragrance. Somehow i see a picture of woman from 1920-s wearing that fragrance. I do not think in any way that it is old fragrance, this is a rich fragrnace!!!
The picture above advertising this fragrance is perfect for this one!

And this one smells nothing like "nuits de scherrer". This is not a renamed version of "Nuits", but completly different scent!!!! Do not get cheated by some sellers who say that!!!

Update: as it dry downs, it reminds me of an very pleasnat sweet men´s parfum. I wouldn´t mind if my man would spray it on a little and i could sniff him, this scent drives me crazy!!!

This scent is soooooo yummy , exotic and sexy . It instantly makes you feel like an Indian Princess walking through the gardens of her palace at nigh.
Truly a dream scent with plenty of flowers warmen by burning amber. needless to specify that i love it

Hello,

I'd like to know where I can to buy this perfum.Thank you. My email: agilcanovas@hotmail.com

Gorgeous, warm and subtile. It stays on the skin forever and tranforms into something so very cozy.

It reminds me in some way of Rochas, but much more oriental and spicy.

Beautiful floriental edp. The top has amazing notes of mandarine, peach, spices and thick sweet vanilla. It's almost edible but in a good way.

Then the flowers joins the composition with their light breeze from the garden, moving transparent curtains in front of the open door that leads to the porch. A bouquet of lilac on the dressing table and a beautiful woman having an afternoon rest on her bed.

It's a hot day and the evening will become even warmer. The house will warm up and you can smell the different wood in it. You can smell the flowers and even the woman resting on her bed.

Deep and sensual oriental floral masterpiece. Soft and powdery with ylang ylang and jasmine notes. Luxurious. For a special occasions and big nights.
Sister for gorgeous Shalimar and L'Heure Bleue. And I guess cousin for Versace's Blonde as it is the same nose, Nathalie Feisthauer, behind this one too.

I have this rare discontinued perfume if anyone is still looking for it, it smells absolutely divine, I liked the analogy "Shalimar to the 9th power" !!

I have not seen this one in years!

There may be a remake out there, but it is probably not a patch on the original oriental scent. It was a sensuous blend with a subtle civet in the base that raised it above the more modern orientals.

Like other Scherrer scents, Nuits Indiennes was potent and intoxicating, Shalimar to the nth power, but JL always seems to add just a bit of sparkle at the end and in this case it is the cedar.

The heart notes provide a lovely floral and the lilac note is pretty not bitter.

I miss this one and should have stocked up...but then I say this about so many lost miracles of perfumery.

It's very similar to Krazy Krizia.I like both but this one-less.It's just that the combination of aldehydes and rose is too much for me-I got headache.
