Our objective metric for performance per dollar.
The Verdict
Luxe Night captures the spirit of a night out, dressed to impress. It's for the individual who enjoys their sweetness with a touch of darkness, perhaps a creative soul with a penchant for vintage glamour. It's slightly less refined than New York Nights. At a tenth of the price, that touch of synthetic caramel is easily forgiven.
Scent Breakdown
Luxe Night opens with a blast of white florals – gardenia leading the charge. There's a spicy carnation hum beneath, but it’s definitely front-loaded with that heady, almost creamy gardenia. The jasmine is present, though playing a supporting role. The heart introduces a damp patchouli note, grounding the sweetness. I get a *hint* of aquatic vibe, a whisper of sea salt rather than a full-on oceanic wave. The dry down is where the caramel and coffee emerge. It's a sugary sweetness, a touch synthetic. Compared to New York Nights, it's about 92% similar. The original has a smoother, more rounded feel. Luxe Night has a slightly sharper edge.
The Performance Stats
Longevity is surprisingly decent. I get about 6 hours on my skin. Projection is moderate for the first hour, then it settles closer to the skin. Not a room-filler, but noticeable.
