  A gorgeous interpretation of agarwood that makes you fly, like Aladdin on his carpet. Oh, you were kidding me. Alright, let’s start over: this is a totally sick perfume. The only difference from other LV scents is that this has more depth and quality. I thought this brand was terrible for being irrelevant and watery before. I blind-bought it, saw the blue-green bottle, and was biased. I’m addicted to blue and grey tones. I sprayed the sample and got hammered… like cheap Chinese plastic shoes? Sniff, sniff, damn, that’s what I smell. It smells like low-quality footwear, like cheap plastic. There’s either natural oud or synthetic oud trying to mimic the original without westernizing it, or leather. It’s the leather of brand-new shoes, with gas fumes lingering. Just like the Gucci Guilty Absolute I can’t stand. The opening is bizarre and disheartening, only for very particular palates. I applaud the risk. Gradually, that shiny leather note picks up a smoky sweetness, more masculine, like a campfire with something sweet but not cloying. Nuit de Feu gains body, sweetens, and the leather drops from a ten to a two, which is something to be grateful for. The formula gets soaked in a soft benzoin or ambrette musk. The evolution doesn’t go much further: it starts as a luxury shoe store or a car workshop, and ends up being a beautiful, wearable oriental. The oud isn’t as strong anymore, mixed with resins and a soft vanilla/cardamom note with soft frankincense. Here, I even think I can smell my Nu de YSL musky, though faint. This final phase might appeal to classics like Darkbeat. It’s too much for me: the opening terrifies me and the base doesn’t convince me with its sweetness. If I used to wear orientals, it was when I was young; now I want to smell like a clean t-shirt. People will think: ‘Didn’t you say Vuitton was horrible?’ Yes, I was predisposed to hate it because of the 320 euro price tag. Yes, there’s quality and refinement, but it’s not worth it even a little bit. I’ve tried Amouage or Malle, gorgeous and insanely expensive, art that’s worth the cost even if it drains your wallet. Here, although decent, I don’t see anything that justifies paying three euros per ml. Only for fans. PS: Good longevity, bad trail.

  A breathtaking interpretation of agarwood that makes you feel like Aladdin on his carpet. Oh, I was fooling you. Come on, let me start over: this is an absolutely amazing perfume. The only difference from other LV scents is that this one has more substance and quality. I thought this brand was terrible because of how irrelevant and watery their previous stuff was. I blind-bought it, saw the greenish-blue bottle, and was already biased—I’m addicted to blue and grey tones. I sprayed the sample and got a huge shock… cheap Chinese plastic shoes? Sniff, sniff, damn, that’s what I smell. It smells like low-quality footwear, pure plastic. There’s either natural oud or synthesized oud trying to mimic the original without westernizing it, or leather. It’s the leather of brand-new shoes, with traces of diesel fuel. Just like the Gucci Guilty Absolute that I absolutely can’t stand. The opening is bizarre and disheartening, only for very particular palates. I applaud the risk. Gradually, that shiny leather note blends with a smoky sweetness, more masculine, like a campfire with something sweet but not cloying. Nuit de Feu gains body, sweetens, and the leather drops from a 10 to a 2, which is something to be grateful for. The formula gets soaked in a soft benjoi or ambrette musk. Not much evolution beyond that: it starts as a luxury shoe store or a car workshop and ends up being a beautiful, wearable oriental. The oud isn’t as strong anymore, mixed with resins and a soft vanilla/cardamom tone with a hint of soft frankincense. Here, I even think I can smell my Nu de YSL musk, though faintly. This final phase could appeal to classics like Darkbeat. For me, it’s too much: the opening horrifies me and the base doesn’t convince me due to its sweetness. If I used orientals, it was when I was young; now I want to smell like clean laundry. People will think: ‘Didn’t you say it was a horrible Vuitton?’. Yes, I was predisposed to hate it because of the 320-euro price tag. Yes, there is quality and refinement, but it’s not worth a damn. I’ve tried Amouage or Malle, gorgeous and insanely expensive art that’s worth its cost, even if it drains your wallet. Here, although decent, I don’t see anything that justifies paying three euros per ml. Only for fans. PS: Good longevity, poor sillage.

  Nuit de Feu is another oud proposal from Louis Vuitton, alongside Ombre Nomade, Les Sables Roses, and Fleur du Desert, perhaps the one most focused on Persian oud, excluding the exclusive Pur Oud. Here we get a smoky, ambered oud, more oriental than the rest. It opens with a very marked Laotian oud, milky (some say cheesy), smoky, and resinous, with little hints of incense sweetness. The leather is in the base and doesn’t stand out. It’s linear, dense, and heavy. It doesn’t have the projection of Ombre Nomade, but it’s perfect for layering. I tried it with Atrape-Reeves, and the mix with rose and raspberry was incredible; a guy even stopped me on the subway. Ideal for formal wear and cold months, almost mandatory at night. It lasts a long time, though the projection is short; you notice it after 8 hours. It’s unisex, but smells better on men. The price is extremely high; better to analyze other LV options if it’s your first fragrance. If I have to choose among the four dark ouds, I’d stick with Ombre Nomade for its boldness and better performance. Incredible approach to oriental oud, distinct from the mineral one everyone knows.

  Another Louis Vuitton oud offering alongside Ombre Nomade and others perhaps the most focused on Persian oud excluding the exclusive Pur Oud. Here we get a smoky ambered oud more oriental than the rest. It opens with a very marked Laotian oud lactic (some say cheesy) smoky and resinous with tiny sweet hints of incense. Leather is in the base but doesn’t stand out. It’s linear dense and heavy. It lacks the projection of Ombre Nomade but it’s perfect for layering. I tried it with Atrape-Reeves and the mix with rose and raspberry was incredible; even a guy stopped me on the subway. Ideal for formal wear and cold months almost mandatory at night. Lasts a long time though projection is short; you can still smell it after 8 hours. It’s unisex but smells better on men. Price is sky-high; better to analyze other LV options if it’s your first fragrance. If I have to choose between the four dark ouds I’d stick with Ombre Nomade for its punch and better performance. Incredibly close to oriental oud distinct from the mineral one everyone knows.

  Since it’s from Vuitton I expected something more conservative but nope. Fire is the main note—smoky and strong though not reaching the extreme levels of Hyde or City of Fire. At first smoke dominates mixed with a leathery dark Laotian oud; the incense is there but overshadowed by that soot with a sour or lactic edge. In the final phase close to the skin the best parts shine through: resinous and sharp notes amidst the soot. The journey to get there isn’t worth it. Of the three in the collection alongside Ombre Nomade (flashy but boring) and Noveau Monde (my favorite) this is the most complicated one.

  Luxury smoked oud though with a synthetic touch that reminds me of a bonfire of strange woods in the desert at night. It’s quite linear: great longevity but the trail is limited and too flat. Not for everyone but it’s probably the best Louis Vuitton fragrance in recent years.

  Nuit de Feu is a powerhouse beast. Forget the ‘campfire in the desert’ vibe; this smells like mass at the Vatican: pure incense, blessed rosary. Top-tier quality. The trail isn’t a rocket ship, but it does the job. Longevity is a whole other story—outstanding. I’m giving it 7/10: it’s intense, serious, and for people with presence. Only for super special occasions, like a date with the Pope or straight up with God.
