This one is awful. I get headache when I smell it. I've bought a mini package of 5 worth perfumes and they smell all bad except je reviens. Waste of money!
The current (2011) version is a bad copy of Samsara and falls flat after 10 min. Never tried the vintage. This one (the new juice) cannot be recommended!
Hasn´t anybody else noticed that this smells very similar to Samsara?
I have received a 10ml bottle of this in the modern edition 'love poem' set of 5 perfumes by the same Worth 'nose'.
My main impression of this is 'brown lemonade'. I don't know if you can get this in other countries but we did as children in Northern Ireland and it has a very distinct smell of its own. It also reminds me very much of Max Factor Le Jardin D'Amour (the black one) and of Rochas Byzance.
Was thinking this was one of the set I might keep but unfortunately after a while that plasticy smell I noted in Je Reviens started to come out. Hmmm...
Update: No, I actually like this, it's the first 'spicy' scent that feels right on me, just been outside walking the cat and kept catching lovely whiffs of it. The true test for me, wearing a perfume out in the fresh air.
Dans La Nuit is a classic, and hard to find. I am wearing it today and are reminded again how for me the oldies are almost always superior to me than much of anything new. If it's available new I haven't been able to find it.
I have some bottles of both the original formulation (EDT) and the new (parfum). Both are quite lovely initially, but the new version falls flat after just a few minutes.
To me, the vintage Dans la Nuit has a Worth 'signature' that I can also smell in vintage Je Reviens. I can imagine someone wearing Je Reviens by day and then topping up with Dans la Nuit for the evening.
Unlike Je Reviens, Dans la Nuit is not heavy on the aldehydes and salicylates, therefore it is less 'powdery'.
I don't notice the woody or oriental aspects that other reviewers here mention. To me, Dans la Nuit is a sweet, rich floral with its sweetness possibly provided by prominent jasmine and ylang-ylang notes.
In my opinion, two similar modern fragrances are Il Bacio by Borghese and Vivid by Liz Claiborne.
This is launched much earlier than noted here (so tarasapphire is right!) because I'm reading the diary my mother wrote during the war (heartbraking!) and at one of the pages she mentioned recieving Dans la Nuit as a gift from a boyfriend...
I haven't smelled this scent ever, but if it's the scent I'm getting when turning the pages, it resembles Mitsouko and/or L'Heure Bleue by Guerlain...maybe a mixture of both...
But it might as well be that she wore one of those two as well at that time...
I'd be interested to smell this one for real!
I like this warm scent. It's woody and a little sweet.
Dans La Nuit was actually first launched in 1924, relaunched in 1985 and then again in 2000. It is a Woody Oriental and one of a kind. Just an incredible perfume. It conjures images of dancing beneath the stars at midnight in a luxurious garden. I had it many years ago and have spent years trying to find it again.
