  A Night in Doha surprises you because it doesn’t smell like what the notes promise. Seeing tobacco and vanilla, one expects something like Tobacco Vanille, very overdone, but it has nothing to do with that. It starts with sweetened dry lily of the valley and a candied fruit touch, like an orange dessert. Gradually it becomes creamy and sweet, but not excessive or cloying, just right. The tobacco and vetiver are hard to pinpoint, though they are on the list. The heart is a mix of maple syrup, vanilla, and that boozy lily of the valley with candied fruits; very pleasant. Longevity is very good, but projection fails: you only smell it if you get close, though it lasts all day on the skin. It’s for cold climates, unisex but with a slight feminine lean. It’s pricey (more than 2 euros per ml) and the weak projection might discourage, but as a scent, it’s a curious and well-executed gourmand that has convinced me.

  Una Nuit a Doha surprises you because it doesn’t smell like what the notes promise. Seeing tobacco and vanilla, you might expect something like Tobacco Vanille, a very cliché scent, but it has nothing to do with it. It starts with dry, syrupy immortelle, with a touch of candied fruit, like an orange dessert. Gradually it becomes creamy and sweet, but not excessive or cloying, just right. The tobacco and vetiver are hard to pinpoint, even though they’re listed. The heart is a blend of maple syrup, vanilla, and that boozy immortelle with candied fruits; very pleasant.

  Managed to grab a bottle at a great price, and the evolution is brutal: the opening is sweet but not cloying, featuring dry lily of the valley and a fruity touch as oscarsh86 mentioned. It smells super original, nothing like anything I’ve smelled before. As it dries down, I like it, but it clashes a lot with my Serge Lutens Arabie; despite the different notes, the dry-down is almost identical. Moderate performance: lasts quite a bit but projects little. I see it as ideal for daily wear on cool days and it’s totally unisex. Scent: 8, Longevity: 8, Projection: 6, Value: 5, Versatility: 7, Uniqueness: 7, Overall: 8.

It smells super original, nothing like anything I’ve smelled before. As it dries down, I like it, but it clashes a lot with my Serge Lutens Arabie; despite the different notes, the dry down is almost identical. Performance is moderate: it lasts quite a while but projects little. I see it as ideal for daily use on fresh days and it’s totally unisex.
