Robert Piguet Nuit Velours EDP in detail
Nuit Velours EDP comes from Robert Piguet. This one is the Eau de Parfum.
Longevity on skin
It lasts a medium time, about 3 to 6 hours on skin. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last. Jil Sander #4 and Chopard Love last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like sandalwood and musk are the part that stays longest on the skin.
Who will like it
The strongest accord is vanilla (100%), followed by gourmand and sweet. You will probably like it if you enjoy vanilla and gourmand smells and notes like whipped cream and sandalwood. Less obvious notes include mandarin orange, violet and patchouli. Perfume fans rate it 4.09 out of 5.
Nuit Velours through the year
The best time of year to wear it is winter. It is less suited to summer. Ranked by season: winter, fall, spring and summer. Its warm smell feels best when the weather is cold.
When in the day to wear Nuit Velours
It works better at night than in the day, so it is a good pick for evenings, dinners and going out. Its vanilla side feels cosy and rich after dark. For daytime, Jil Sander #4 is a lighter match.
