  A breathtaking interpretation of agarwood that makes you feel like Aladdin on his carpet. Oh, I was fooling you. Right, let me start again: it’s a truly excellent perfume. The only difference from other LV scents is that this one has more substance and quality. I used to hate this brand for how irrelevant and watery their previous releases were. I blind-bought it, saw the blue-green bottle and was biased—I have an addiction to blue and grey tones. I sprayed the sample and got a massive shock… Chinese plastic shoes? Sniff, sniff, damn, that’s what I smell. It smells like poor-quality footwear, cheap plastic. There’s either natural oud or synthetically created oud that mimics the original without westernising it, or leather. It’s the leather of brand-new shoes, with traces of diesel fuel. Just like the Gucci Guilty Absolute that I absolutely can’t stand. The opening is bizarre and disheartening, only for very particular palates. I applaud the risk. Gradually, that glossy leather note blends with a smoky sweetness, more masculine, like a campfire with something sweet but not cloying. Nuit de Feu gains body, sweetens, and the leather drops from ten to two, which is something to be grateful for. The formula is soaked in a soft benzoin or ambrette musk. The evolution is minimal: it starts as a luxury shoe shop or a car workshop, and ends as a lovely, wearable oriental. The oud is no longer so strong, mixed with resins and a soft vanilla/cardamom tone with soft frankincense. Here, I even think I can smell my Nu de YSL musk, though faintly. This final phase might appeal to classics like Darkbeat. For me, it’s too much: the opening horrifies me and the base doesn’t convince me due to its sweetness. If I used orientals, it was when I was young; now I want to smell like a clean t-shirt. People will think: ‘Didn’t you say it was a horrible Vuitton?’. Yes, predisposed to hate it because of the 320-euro price tag. Yes, there is quality and refinement, but it’s not worth it for a second. I’ve tried Amouage or Malle, exquisite and very expensive, art that’s worth the cost, even if it drains your wallet. Here, although decent, I see nothing to justify paying three euros per ml. Only for fans. PS: Good longevity, poor sillage.

  A stunning interpretation of agarwood that lifts you off the ground, like Aladdin on his carpet. Oh, I was misleading you. Right, let’s start again: it’s a truly excellent fragrance. The only difference from other LV scents is that this one has more substance and quality. I used to think this brand was terrible due to how irrelevant and watery their previous offerings were.

Yes, predisposed to hate it because of the 320-euro price tag. Yes, there is quality and refinement, but it’s not worth it in the slightest.

  Another Louis Vuitton oud proposal, alongside Ombre Nomade and others, perhaps the one most focused on Persian oud, excluding the exclusive Pur Oud. Here we get a smoky, ambered oud, more oriental than the rest. It opens with a very marked Laotian oud, lactic (some say cheesy), smoky and resinous, with little sweet touches of incense. Leather is in the base and doesn’t stand out. It’s linear, dense and heavy. It lacks the projection of Ombre Nomade, but it’s perfect for layering. I tested it with Atrape-Reeves and the mix with rose and raspberry was incredible; even a man stopped me on the tube. Ideal for formal use and cold months, almost mandatory at night. It lasts a long time, though projection is short; it’s noticeable after 8 hours. It’s unisex, but smells better on men. Price is extremely high, better to consider other LV options if it’s your first fragrance. If I had to choose between the four dark ouds, I’d stick with Ombre Nomade for its stridency and better performance. Incredible approach to oriental oud, distinct from the mineral one everyone knows.

  Nuit de Feu is another oud proposal from Louis Vuitton, alongside Ombre Nomade, Les Sables Roses and Fleur du Desert, perhaps the one most focused on Persian oud, excluding the exclusive Pur Oud. Here we get a smoky, ambered oud, more oriental than the rest. It opens with a very marked Laotian oud, milky (some say cheesy), smoky and resinous, with little hints of incense sweetness. The leather is in the base and doesn’t stand out. It’s linear, dense and heavy. It lacks the projection of Ombre Nomade, but it’s perfect for layering. I tried it with Atrape-Reeves and the blend with rose and raspberry was incredible, even stopping a man on the tube. Ideal for formal wear and cold months, almost mandatory for evening wear. It lasts a long time, although the projection is short; it’s noticeable after eight hours. It’s unisex, but smells better on men. The price is extremely high; better to consider other LV options if it’s your first fragrance. If I had to choose between the four dark ouds, I’d stick with Ombre Nomade for its boldness and better performance. An incredible approach to oriental oud, distinct from the mineral one everyone knows.

  Being a Vuitton, I expected something more conservative, but no. Fire is the main note, smoky and strong, though not reaching the extreme levels of Hyde or City of Fire. At first, smoke dominates, mixed with a leathery, dark Laotian oud; the incense is there but overshadowed by that soot, with a sour or lactic hint. In the final phase, almost on the skin, the best shines through: resinous and piercing notes amidst the soot. The journey to that tasty finish isn’t worth it. Of the three in the collection, alongside Ombre Nomade (flashy but boring) and Noveau Monde (my favourite), this is the most complicated.

  Luxurious incensed oud, though with a synthetic touch that recalls a bonfire of strange woods in the desert at night. It’s quite linear: excellent longevity, but the trail is limited and too flat. Not for everyone, but it’s probably the best Louis Vuitton fragrance of recent years.

  Nuit de Feu is a powerhouse beast. Forget the ‘campfire in the desert’; this smells like mass in the Vatican: pure incense, a blessed rosary. Top-tier quality. The trail isn’t a rocket, but it does the job. Longevity is another story entirely, outstanding. I give it 7/10: it’s intense, serious, and for people with presence. Only for super special occasions, like a date with the Pope or straight up with God.
