What do reviewers say about Tabu and Night?
This cologne concentration means Tabu wears closer to the skin than its later EDT counterparts, but it never apologizes for its intentions. The civet and clove remain defiantly present.Tabu
This is not a safe fragrance. The aldehydes open like a door that's been closed too long, and the civet in the base isn't hiding. But that's exactly the point.Night
