Bordeaux - Plaisir de la Nuit

Bordeaux - Plaisir de la Nuit, released by the German house Birkholz in 2024, sits evenly between sweet, woody and floral, with spice, musk and herbs each about half as strong.

Apple gives a crisp, juicy start, and cardamom adds a cool, slightly lemony spice, while sage brings a soft herbal, almost savoury note. Rose and jasmine form the heart, the rose deep and velvety, the jasmine warm and slightly indolic, which suits the evening mood of the name. As it dries down, sandalwood and patchouli lay a creamy, earthy woody base, and vanilla with musk gives it a smooth, sweet finish on the skin.

Worn by anyone, it suggests autumn and winter evenings, dinners and nights out, when its sweet, rosy warmth feels most natural. It should appeal to those who like a fruity rose with a creamy woody base and a gentle herbal edge that keeps it from turning sugary.
