I really like everything about this release. Basil, pepper, sage, and geranium with a bright bergamot is great. I actually really like that opening act, with its burst of freshness to contrast against the warmth of the rest of the wear. Better performing than the EDT, even if I enjoy the smell of that a bit more. That being said, it is one of the best The One releases.
#The one luminous night full#
I don’t know if I’m going to get a full bottle for myself (I might still), since that would run me $200 or so. I think that is smells very good, but it isn’t a total love for me. Overall, do I like Luminous Night? I do enjoy it. It can absolutely be worn dressed up, while still having its sexy side as a date night go to. Semi formal or even formal social situations would be fine. It’s very attractive and well put together. But, as a nighttime fragrance, if it isn’t too hot and sticky out…you can wear it whenever. Seasonally, this is best in autumn and winter. Again, it’s not a strong fragrance, but it does stick around. It lasts somewhere in the 7-8 hour range. I do notice it on me throughout, just not a complete monster.
#The one luminous night skin#
The projection runs about 2-4 feet off of the skin for much of the wear. Actually pretty moderate, at its height and then more intimate, without being a complete skin scent. Once that pepper is out of the way, I can get more of it. In the middle act, the geranium while still not heavy, does pick up somewhat. Slightly smoky dates sitting in a pool of amber is how I would describe this one. The dates are nice, more of a dried fruit aroma, than anything hyper-sweet or juicy. Expect that to be the main event for basically the rest of the wear. Sage sticks around, but it will fall down the chain of importance.ĭates, amber, incense, and wood. Smokiness, warmth, spice, with a nice fruit providing a sweet heart. It is interesting, the style here reminds me of one of the L’Homme Ideal flankers, even while they don’t smell the same. The pepper is mostly around for the first 15 minutes, then is pretty much gone. I don’t get all that much black pepper and only a faint peak of the geranium note. Sage and basil are the stronger of the spicy notes to be. The early part of this scent is fresh with the sweetness of the dates lurking underneath. Upon spraying, I do get the contrast between cool and the warm notes. Knowing that, I would probably plop down the near $200 for a bottle off of eBay if I loved the fragrance. However, since it was a limited edition and not sold in the US, I kind of forgot about it for a while.įorgot to the point that bottles became scarce, and I had to secure a decant of it for testing.
When I first saw the notes, bottle, and concept of The One Luminous Night I was excited to try it. Here’s how D&G describes it: Inspired by the captivating contrast between the deep blue night sky and the blazing gold stars set within it, The One Luminous Night conjures the magic and splendour of a star-studded Arabian night. Notes include: bergamot, basil, black pepper, dates, amber, incense, sage, geranium, sandalwood What does The One Luminous Night Smell Like?
