The Night

by Dominique Ropion

Frédéric Malle The Night is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014, created by Dominique Ropion. The fragrance opens with Rose and Saffron, settles into a heart of Oud, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Amber, and Incense.

Our verdict on The Night: Acquired

This is a masterpiece that divides as much as it delights. Be warned: the opening can be challenging, but if you can survive the notorious barnyard oud, you're in for a luxurious, uncompromising ride. Just ignore the eye-watering price tag.

About

The Night opens boldly with a potent, animalic oud and a hint of saffron-spiced rose. As it settles, the initial intensity mellows into a rich heart of deep, leathery oud. The drydown reveals a sophisticated blend of warm amber and creamy sandalwood, underscored by a subtle whisper of incense, creating an opulent and long-lasting scent trail. It's a complex, evolving fragrance that truly showcases the depth of natural oud.
