Nuits de Scherrer Jean-Louis Scherrer for women

De floral nada,es un oriental en toda regla!!!

I bought it unsniffed an EDT version and was expecting something glamourous and exotic but honestly all i get is apple vinegar note at the beginning. Very sour and disturbing. First time i tried it i thought i might be mistaken and it simply cannot be true, but then other 2 times it was always the same. Very sharp opening that lasts and lasts and doesn´t go away. This must be orange with a lot of fresia.
Then after 5 minutes it begins to settle down and it becomes more pleasant. The lilly comes through though it is still surpressed by the opening note of orange. I hardly smell any vanilla in it but i do get the sharp flower notes. My verdict is still the same: to me it smells like aplle vinegar mostly!!
So if you have time for this scent to settle down and open up and develope then it is yours. I would say in general that this is a sharp fragrance. Sadly it is not my type of perfume.

Please do not remove this comment, since others might find it useful. Not every rewiev should be positive, so people like me wanted to make a blind buy might find it very informative. Thanks.

I tried Nuits and was immediately transported to a night garden full of lilies, and imagined myself putting my nose into one lily after another and staining my nose and face with yellow pollen, it is that truely intoxicating the first instant you spray it on.
I find the beginning similar to the classic Dolce and Gabbana (red cap bottle): a lot of powerful florals with a bitter feeling, which is something that I like. Then sandalwood and violet come up, together with the jasmine, orange and ylang. After half an hour the drydown is soft, ambery-orange-jasmine-incense-vanilla, not too sweet, just oriental in feeling. Lovely perfume in a classic style, I love it.

I would like to update my review, as there is something about it which only struck me recently, like a revelation. It just dawned upon me that Nuits has a strong resemblance with Elizabeth Taylor's White Diamonds, which is why it has that classy feeling. I put it on last night and waited there on the spot with disbelief to check whether it was Nuits at all or White Diamonds instead. Well, people, it seems we have just discovered a similar fragrance.

i love its sweet,inciense,and oily scent,remenber me when i was a litle girl.
In first time ist not too good but in seconds born some marvellous.

I read online somewhere, of Nuits de Scherrer being described as smelling like "Chai tea with honey" and that's exactly what it it is like - a creamy, sweet Chai latte, with a touch of woodyness.

The Top Notes & Middle Notes are a bit strange at first but not altogether horrible. At first I was not sure if I liked it. Then I thought I hated it BUT luckily, after the dry down, and the Base Notes came out I loved it.

Once it settled, it sat close to the skin & as I move around I get whiffs of Nuits de Scherrer throughout the day.

Nuits de Scherrer is foody, woody and sweet at the same time, sophisticated & not too strong.

This is my second Scherrer fragrance, and now one of my favourites.

Very nice!

I have heard that Nuits de Scherrer is a renamed Nuits Indiennes.

On first spray, there is an immediate sour note that dissipates in a second or two, metamorphosing into a pleasant vanillic blend, quite a bit brighter, cleaner, and sunlit than the name suggests. This may be due to the fruit notes I see listed. I find that Nuits becomes more interesting and complex in the drydown, but never as wonderfully distinctive as some of my favorite Scherrer scents. To me the vanilla and sandalwood stand out from beginning to end. I have to admit that in general if there is a drop of vanilla in a scent, that's about all I smell--and this is the case with Nuits.

This would be a good gift purchase for the vanilla-lover in your life. First, it costs less than many other vanillic scents. Second, no one seems to own it, so it would be unique. Finally, it is safe: not too sweet, not too spicy, not too loud, not too oaky, not too fruity, not too animalic. To be avoided only by those who don't like the dominant notes I mentioned.
