Club de Nuit Urban Man Elixir EDP

Which Should You Buy?
- You prefer premium, luxurious scents.
- You want a refined, authoritative fragrance.
- You enjoy rich, opulent compositions.
- You're looking for a budget-friendly option.
- You want strong projection and longevity.
- You love bold, mass-appealing fragrances.
Sauvage turned dark and thick. A hot spice trio opens it, a boozy lavender heart follows, and licorice and amber lie dense as velvet beneath. Very strong, very long-lasting and made for cold nights.
If you crave attention and want maximum projection with a mass-appealing, spicy-fresh-ambery signature, this is a beast-mode bargain. Not for subtlety seekers, but a compliment magnet for the outgoing.

Performance
Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Hot spice, amber and licorice are cold-weather materials: winter and autumn are its seasons. In summer it would be far too heavy.
Occasions
Bold and opulent, it suits formal events and nights out, and is seductive on a date. Too assertive for the office or casual use, and no use for sport.
Seasons
Bergamot, pink pepper, lavender and an ambroxan-amber base sit between fresh and warm; spring through fall are the strongest fits, summer works in moderation.
Occasions
Loud projection and a spicy-fresh-amber trail suit casual daytime, dates and weekend evenings. Too dominant for office or sport.
