Nuit des Rois

Nuit des Rois, composed by Alberto Morillas for the Swiss house Chopard in 2019, is a woody fragrance according to everyone who rates it, with about four in five also calling it floral. Two in five find it spicy or gourmand, and a minority citrusy. It is an oud and rose scent sweetened with honey.

Bitter orange and neroli give a bright, slightly bitter orange-flower opening, with cardamom adding a warm, aromatic spice and saffron a leathery heat. Bulgarian rose and rose form the floral heart, and iris adds a cool, powdery softness. Honey brings a thick, golden, slightly animalic sweetness that defines the gourmand side. Laotian oud and agarwood give a resinous, smoky wood, guaiac wood a sweet smokiness, sandalwood a creamy warmth and vetiver a dry, earthy edge, while vanilla softens the base.

Nuit des Rois is a shared fragrance, worn by anyone. Oud, rose and honey belong to cold weather and evenings, and it should appeal to people who like a rich, regal oud-rose with sweetness.
