The ingredients contains more notes than just these 2! I have a tester bottle which says:
The voluptous Essence of Liquorice Wood:
Oriental-Woody- Warm
Ivy, Anise, Myrrh, Liquorice Wood, Oud Wood, Vetiver, Olive Wood
My boyfriend has it and the scent is gorgeous, reminds me on some candies (Bronhi original) that are made out of licorice, caramel, anise and some other herbs. Fresh and spicy.
I could finally put my hands on it and here is my review:
I think the name “Illusions Noires Au Masculin Eau de Minuit” beautiful! But definitely, if they had called it Au Masculin Intense (or extreme), it would work as well.
This scent carries the same dna as the traditional one very well. While the traditional (which I think is unique and flawlessly constructed) has a bigger alcoholic and sweet nuance, due to its notes of rum, praline and licorice, this version is more simple and linear, working around de licorice and oud notes. Bear in mind that, when I said “simple”, it doesn´t mean that it is a common aroma. I am just talking about the construction: only 2 notes that result in a strong and vivid aroma!
An interesting thing about this is that the oud note is not too resinous, medicinal. It seems they used more the wood parts of the tree, becoming denser, woodier.
It is a beautiful cologne, specially for those who want to have the whole “Au Mausculin” line, which I think is fantastic!
It has a good projection with great lasting power.
To finish, I can’t forget to say that the bottle is very nice, with a dark green color, which I think it was made of extremely good taste.
Where the original Lolita Lempicka Au Masculin is a fresh licorice, this fragrance features the dark, sweet and edible licorice which immediately reminds me of the black licorice I ate as a child. The floral middle notes are darker and thicker, and there are some nice woody notes though I don't really perceive the OUD. I do, however, clearly pick up on the myrrh or incense, which provides a nice divergence from the original. Ultimately, this is a great fragrance that will feel familiar for those who've worn and loved LLaM, while also proving to be new and original on its own. The projection and longevity are both equal or better than the original - in other words, this is potent stuff! I got mine at PerfumeEmporium.com.
Masculin Eau de Minuit = LLaM + Fahrenheit Absolute (w/ less OUD)
Yes it's available in the US It's on fragrancex.com for 41.00
It's on fragrancex.com for 41.00
Can someone tell me if this is available in the US and if so, where it might be found? Been looking for this for awhile and not sure where to find this
Starts off with a very intense blast of Licorice Wood. At first sniff I thought it smells the same as the original Lolita Lempicka Au Masculin but within minutes I get this very intense wet woody note which is dark and resinous. I do not detect any boozy note that was in the original which I am pleased about. It still has a sweetness to it but nothing like the original version.
The bottle is very nice indeed. Looks black until you lift it up to the light it is a very dark green glass.
It is a very rich fragrance and a little really does go a long way. Do not overspray as you could clear a room. Note, like others have mentioned avoid if you are not keen on Licorice as it completely dominates this fragrance throughout with the resinous oud wood.
UPDATE: The dry down on this is superb, the Licorice has gone and you're left with a soft spicy fragrance with a very woody trail. Fantastic!!
Just got my bottle, and MMMMMMMMMMMM MMMMMMM MMMMM!!!
Licorice + OUD = AMAZING!!!
I cannot get enough of this juice, it's so rich, and dark, and yummy. I just cannot say enough good about it. Probably the best blind buy I have ever made!!!
Its avaiable now at cheapsmells.com mens and womens at a good price
Where can I buy this cologne?
Tested today : I love it. A kind of linear fragrance, sweet and addictive. Blind buy if you are a liquorice fan... pass if you aren't!
Bottle is a vast improvement over the first one, (love the frosted leaves!) which always seemed a bit chintzy to me, especially considering it's such a wondferful fragrances and the sweet apple shaped women's bottle. I do hope there's a bit more going on here than just licorice and oud and that more notes will be released, but even if it's only a two trick pony, I'm willing to bet it will be spectacular.
This has just come up for sale on LL's site. But only available in 3 countries so far. No U.S. availability yet it seems.
I can't wait to put my hands on it!!!
So does anyone know when our noses gets treated to this scent?
You have to explain me how some people could vote for ''the Main Notes According to Your Votes'' before the fragrance is released...
If anyone has info about how to obtain this scent (in US), it would be infinitely appreciated!
عايز اجربها بس معتقدش انها هتنزل مصر قريب
Licorice and oud...... My dream finally comes true
Love the bottle I hope it smells good
I ove the first one
