What do reviewers say about Nuit Noire and Secret Joly?
This is white florals without the apology. The tuberose gets skanky, the leather gets warm, and somewhere between the cloves and the musk, it becomes something you either love or need to wash off.Nuit Noire
The jasmine-civet pairing isn't subtle, and it isn't trying to be. This is powdery warmth that asks whether you've actually smelled perfume before, and means it as a compliment.Secret Joly
