Comment: Nuit Épicée is a Luckyscent exclusive
To commemorate its tenth anniversary, Luckyscent launched four exclusive fragrances dedicated to the city of Los Angeles, with each one reflecting a different aspect of that city.

Composed by Jerome Epinette, and inspired by the LA nightlife, Nuit Épicée is more of a woody-amber offering than a gourmand, interwoven with soft and creamy chocolate facets. Both the rhubarb and cumin are relatively subdued, but the violet is discernible from the offset. With a faint wheat-like milkiness, the almond comes more into play as the composition reveals its final act.

Like most of the Decennial fragrances, Nuit Épicée suffers from insubstantial sillage and below average staying power. It also suffers from smelling like a Nasomatto-lite clone.
