THE NIGHT

If you love the opulent, smoky richness of Frederic Malle’s THE NIGHT but want a more accessible format, this premium oil delivers an uncanny likeness. We’ve meticulously matched the composition to capture that same brooding oud, rose, and leather accord, now in a concentrated, alcohol-free oil that lasts longer and sits closer to the skin. Perfect for those who appreciate true olfactory complexity without compromise.

Fragrance Notes

• Top Notes: Saffron, Black Pepper, Bergamot
• Heart Notes: Rose, Agarwood (Oud), Ambergris
• Base Notes: Leather, Patchouli, Sandalwood, Musk

How It Performs

Longevity: 8–12 hours on skin; 24+ hours on fabric. The oil format anchors the heavy base notes for extended wear.
Projection: Moderate to moderate-heavy. Expect a noticeable scent bubble for the first 3–4 hours, then a warm, intimate trail that lasts all day. It’s not a sillage monster, but it commands presence without being overwhelming.

Best Times to Wear

This is a cool-weather, evening fragrance. Think winter nights, formal dinners, date nights, or any occasion where you want to project sophistication. It also works for special daytime events in air-conditioned spaces. Avoid wearing in intense heat or humidity – the oud and leather can become too heavy.

Pros & Cons

How It Compares

Side-by-side with the original THE NIGHT, our oil captures the same dark, resinous oud, velvety rose, and smoky leather. The main difference is in the opening – the original has a sharper, more vibrant saffron-pepper burst (thanks to alcohol), while ours is slightly softer and more rounded. After 10 minutes, they are nearly indistinguishable. The oil also lasts about 2–3 hours longer on skin.

What Customers Say

“I’ve worn the original for years – this oil is spot on. The longevity is actually better, and I love that it doesn’t have that alcohol sting.” – Ravi, Mumbai

“Perfect for evenings. No one could tell the difference. Saved me over Rs. 20,000.” – Anjali, Delhi

Any Questions?

How should I apply this oil?

Apply to pulse points (neck, wrists, behind ears) using the rollerball or your fingertip. Let it dry for 30 seconds before dressing. For longer wear, apply a thin layer of unscented lotion first.

Is this fragrance cruelty-free?

Yes – our oils are never tested on animals and contain no animal-derived ingredients (except synthetic musk, which is cruelty-free).

Can I layer this with other fragrances?

Absolutely. It works beautifully as a base under smoky or spicy scents, or as a standalone. Avoid fresh/citrus layers – they may clash with the oud and leather.
