What makes The Night different from other oud fragrances?+

The Night uses a rare, high-quality Laotian oud that is both smoky and sweet, balanced by saffron and rose. It's less animalic than many ouds, making it more wearable while still being potent.

Is The Night suitable for daytime wear?+

It's best reserved for evenings or special occasions due to its intensity. A single spray can last all day, so it's more of a statement scent.

How does the 2023 version compare to the original?+

The 2023 version is a re-release with the same formula. Some enthusiasts note that the oud may be slightly smoother due to aging, but it's essentially identical.
