Keeping Our Income Strategy Rolling
When we wrote puts on ArcelorMittal back in September, we were aiming to receive income or secure a lower stock price should the puts be exercised. As of yesterday's close, we'd gained about 46% of the profit available on our March $16 puts. Since then, the world's largest steelmaker has hit some bumps in the road.
Steel has already been a challenged industry because of the oversupply in the markets, but business took a slight turn for the worse in 2012. Thanks to worse-than-expected performance out of Europe, ArcelorMittal's steel shipments declined 2.3% for 2012, coupled with an 8.2% decrease in average selling prices. As a result, the company has performed worse than previously forecast.
Looking ahead to 2013, there are a few reasons to expect things to improve from here. First off, the company has been carrying out its plan to reduce its net debt in order to maintain its investment grade rating. Along those lines, management continues to pursue asset sales and is cutting back capital expenditures on non-core projects, only planning to grow key projects such as its mining projects. The company expects to reduce its net debt to $17 billion by mid-year and to $15 billion in the medium-term.
However, as part of this focus on costs and preserving cash, the company also has cut its dividend from $0.75 annually to $0.20. Management plans to raise the dividend once it's done shoring up its balance sheet. Until business improves materially and the dividend starts to increase again, investors are not likely to bid up the company's shares just yet.
ArcelorMittal expects to see an increase in global apparent steel usage by 3% in 2013. The company expects activity to continue picking up, but at a slow pace. Until then, we should expect the company to continue cutting costs and only focusing on its lowest-cost operations. The company remains a good way to play long-term economic rebound, though we're still not close to a sustained upturn just yet.
Foolish bottom line
Our March puts expire on Friday, so we're looking to extend our income strategy by rolling our puts to June. According to the most recent bid/ask spread, we can roll our strategy out three months for a net credit of $0.65 , or 4.1%. Tomorrow, I'll be buying to close our current March $16 puts and selling to open new June $16 puts for the Street Fighter Portfolio, which I co-manage with Matt Argersinger.

Extremely Happy with my Results - Oak Brook, IL
Dr, Parungao wa recommended by a friend who was a patient and raved about the amazing results. I didn't need to go to see another doctor because I knew right away he was the doctor of my choice.

5 out of 5 stars Breast Augmentation
Amazing Bedside Manner and a Great Doctor. - Oak Brook, IL
Dr. Parungao is one of the most professional and caring doctors that I have ever met. From the moment I walked into my consultation, I knew he was the doctor that I wanted to perform my surgery. He performed an abdominalplasty, liposuction, and breast augmentation. His bed side manner, his follow up and everything in between is top notch. A doctor who will call and text you to make sure that you are feeling good or if you need anything. I now have a waist, which I haven't seen since being pregnant with my daughter who is 6. Thank you for my mommy makeover. I would recommend Dr. Paungao to anyone who needs any plastic surgery. I also wanted to mention his staff. What an amazing group of professionals!! Although after meeting the doctor, I knew his supporting cast would have to be as caring as he is!!

Dr. P the Greatest Plastic Surgeon Around!!! - Vernon Hills, IL
I recently had a surgery performed by Dr. P and it was a very good experience. Dr. P has great bedside manner, is respectful, knowledgeable, and is easy to talk to. He really listens to what is bothering you and understands how important it is to you. I loved that after my surgery he called me that evening and the next couple afternoons to make sure I was doing okay. The other great thing he does is he gives you his cell number and he not only welcomes text messaging your question or concerns but answers RIGHT AWAY!

Q. Are UV sterilizers a good replacement for biological and mechanical filtration? A. NO. UV sterilizers are not a replacement for good biological and mechanical filtration, regular water changes, or proper control of the nitrogen cycle.
A properly selected UV sterilizer can help clarify water, rid free-floating algae, and control outbreaks of harmful bacteria and certain parasites. UV sterilizers work on the principle that special fluorescent UV lamps can effectively irradiate (kill) microorganisms in aquarium water when they are exposed to this light. UV light, at a peak wavelength of approximately 254 nanometers, alters the genetic material in the organism's nucleus and shortens its normal life cycle. Theoretically, UV sterilizers can kill viruses, bacteria, algae, and protozoa with no residual effects. However, the organisms must be free-floating and travel through the UV sterilizer unit for the sterilizer to work. It has no effect on organisms attached to fish or rocks because they do not flow through the unit and cannot be exposed to the UV light. Before selecting a UV sterilizer, consider your primary objective. Do you want to help control free-floating algae or do you want to control parasites? By deciding this, you will be able to select the proper unit to achieve your intended results. Though most manufacturers provide a recommended maximum aquarium size for each model they make, the application and the efficiency of a unit are also determined by flow rate, as well as bulb age and wattage.

Angus Davis, already well-known to Rhode Islanders as a high-tech entrepreneur and civic leader, is now adding retail guru to his resume with his latest venture, Swipely.
He's not pushing a product you'll find on store shelves; instead, he's hoping to change how people shop, by allowing them to talk about their purchases at an online site – swipely.com – and earn rewards when they use their credit or debit card.
"I was ready to launch another startup," said the Providence company's CEO, "and we were looking at something rooted in the tremendous growth of social media, as well as the huge shift in payments from cash to cashless credit and debit cards."
Swipely opened for business last May, but at that time the service was by invitation-only. It has been available to the public at large since Aug. 18. At this early stage, the company isn't ready to disclose how many Internet users have signed up, but Davis sounds optimistic. "I can tell you that in the invitation period, we had twice as many people interested as we could accommodate," he said.
Here's how Swipely works: A user creates an account at the Swipely site by picking a username and password, and – if you choose – submitting credit and debit card information. You can also fill out profile questions meant to encourage online conversation among users. If you provide credit card data, Swipely will collect information on all your card purchases. You can also elect to provide e-mail receipts from more than 6,000 online retailers.
Then go shopping – and go online to post recommendations based on your purchases and chat about them with other Swipely users, as well as the folks you know from Facebook and other social networking sites. Glamour magazine calls the site "Twitter for your credit card."
If you're making purchases you'd rather keep private, don't worry; you can limit how much of your spending record is made public on the site. "You choose which purchases you want to share," Davis noted. "Nothing gets shared unless you want to tell your friends."
The big lure for consumers is the savings available to Swipely users. Shop a specific store or make a certain number of purchases, and you could be rewarded with a "Swipely badge" good for discounts and freebies. "If you swipe 10 times at iTunes, for example, you'll get a turntable badge that gives you three free downloads," said Davis.
So what happens to your credit card information when you join the site? Nothing, according to Davis. "Swipely does not collect or ask anyone for credit card numbers," he said. "Swipely does not sell our users' personal information to retailers or to anyone else – your privacy is not for sale." The site's privacy policy is endorsed by TrustE, the leading online privacy-protection watchdog.
The company will make money by offering retailers marketing opportunities. "Swipely's business model is based on helping businesses attract, understand and retain their best customers with behaviorally targeted offers, aggregate shopper analytics, and loyalty programs," the CEO said.
Consumers have already shown a strong interest in sharing opinions on products, stores and restaurants on Internet sites, Davis notes. He points out that more than 100 million people do so on sites like Yelp for restaurants, TripAdvisor for hotels and Flixster for movies. He believes his site will make that activity easier and more enjoyable. "Swipely lets you talk about all of those types of reviews and more in one central place centered on your friends whose opinions you trust," he said.
The company has already raised more than $8.5 million in capital, attracting investors who've also put their cash into Zynga, LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Yelp, Skype and Zappos. Davis' success at finding investors comes as no surprise. Though he's just 32, he already has a strong record as an Internet innovator and entrepreneur.
At 18, the Rhode Island native relocated to California for an internship at Netscape Communications. A few months later he became the company's youngest full-time employee, with the title of product manager for the Web browser, its flagship product. "I blew off college to go to Netscape," he said. "It's not something I would recommend for everyone, but it worked to my advantage."
Davis left Netscape when the company was acquired by America Online. He then helped launch Tellme, a speech-recognition product that enabled consumers to access the Internet from any phone with their own voice. The company grew to more than 350 employees and boasted more than $120 million a year in sales before it was purchased by Microsoft in 2007.
At that point, Davis returned to Rhode Island, where he's made a name for himself as a civic activist. He serves on the state's Board of Regents, the panel that sets Rhode Island's education policies. He got involved, he said, because he saw "the lackluster performance of Rhode Island schools" as a roadblock to the state's economic growth.
As a board member, he worked to end the moratorium on new charter schools in the state and helped eliminate the ban on alternative teacher certification. More recently, he was involved in efforts to win a $75 million education grant from the federal government.
Davis also co-chaired the search committee for a new commissioner of education. The job went to his choice, Deborah Gist, who's generated national headlines with her no-nonsense approach.
He's also become known as a mentor for other entrepreneurs, especially those who are looking to do business in Rhode Island. "I'm an angel investor and involved with a lot companies as an adviser and investor," he said. "But right now my day-to-day focus is Swipely." •

Week 9: Ravens vs. Steelers–The Sequel
Posted By Frank Sullivan On Nov 3 2011 @ 12:08 pm In Baltimore Ravens | No Comments
On September 11th, the beginning of the 2011 NFL season, the Baltimore Ravens played host to the Pittsburgh Steelers. What ensued was out of the norm for the most ferocious rivalry in today's NFL. The Ravens racked up 385 yards against the Steelers vaunted defense; Ray Lewis and company forced seven turnovers, recorded four sacks, and nearly shut out the defending AFC Champions: 35-7.
It's no secret the Steelers want to avenge that loss Sunday night. The Ravens know who they're playing and can't wait for the whistle to blow.
On Sunday Night Football's national stage the rivalry will once again heat up. Pittsburgh has won six of the last ten meetings, two of which were in the playoffs. The Ravens know in order to accomplish their goal of winning a Super Bowl, they'll have to go through Pittsburgh to do it.
On paper the teams match up remarkably well. Baltimore has the #1 Ranked Defense (263.3 ypg) while the Steelers are #2 (270.8 ypg). Offensively the Ravens are 14th in overall offense (341.8 ypg) and the Steelers are 9th (388.8 ypg.). We all know the numbers, the players, the coaches, and the history; what's hardest to predict is how the game will unfold.
Pittsburgh QB Ben Rothlisberger is 7-1 all-time at home against the Ravens. The Steelers are on a four-game winning streak and are coming off a big win over the Patriots. The Ravens haven't been quite as sharp of late, losing 12-7 on Monday night to the Jaguars, then needing the biggest comeback in franchise history to narrowly beat the one-win Cardinals last Sunday at home.
It would appear one team is trending up, while the other down, but in this rivalry the numbers don't matter, it's how you play the game.
"The whistle has to be blown Sunday night, and they know what we bring and we know what they bring, so here we go…" Ravens LB Ray Lewis said Wednesday.
What to Watch For
Joe Flacco/Cam Cameron vs. Steelers D: A lot has been said recently about Joe Flacco's terribly inconsistent play. Offensive Coordinator Cam Cameron should be in the hot seat right next to the young QB. Sunday night they'll both have to be sharp as they try to crack the Steelers D. If the Ravens offense plays like the did in the first half last week, they're doomed.
Ravens #1 D vs. Big Ben: Since the Week 1 loss to the Ravens Big Ben has been playing great football. Last week against the Patriots, Ben threw for 365 yards and 2 scores. The Ravens D has been great but Ben has been on fire. Big Ben at home has given the birds trouble in years past.
Run Ray, Run: There's no question who needs the most touches in Ravens offense. Ray Rice is their go-to guy. Against the Steelers big plays down the field to Boldin and Smith won't be prevalent. If the Ravens are going to stay in the game it'll be on Ray's legs. The Steeler are 8th (99.1 ypg.) in the league in rushing defense, the Ravens 19th (107.0 ypg) in rushing offense.
Riding a winning streak, at home in the spotlight, Big Ben and the Steelers will be too much for the Ravens in a close game.
Prediction: Ravens 20-Steelers 24

This Reserva is from the relatively obscure wine region of Molise, just north of Puglia on the southern Adriatic coast. It is made in San Bonifacio from a blend of 70% Montepulciano, 15% Agliainico and 15% Trebbiano. Aged for 18 months in large oak barrels before a further 18 months in stainless steel tanks, the result is a surprisingly mature and interesting wine.
Nose: A fruity aroma, cherries featuring prominently, with strong cedar and clove smells coming through.
Palate: Dry with a slightly bitter cherry tang. Just enough spice to make the sweetness interesting without overpowering it. The wood of the barrels is evident but not overpowering and adds a nicely matured edge to the taste.
Finish: Surprisingly smooth with neither the spice, sweetness or the wood holding too much attention.
Overall: A complex wine whose complexity belies its age.

The MMO Report: Thursday, May 20th
Comments are Closed
meh, ive watched every episode for quite some time now and getting kinda tired/bored of the mailbag segment which seems to get longer each week.
more mmo news and less ball-sack jokes and letters written by your 12 yr old fans to make you feel more important to a mostly guy audience...unless that's what ya like... fyi your emailing fanboys obviously don't represent the majority of your viewers...just the ones who don't have anything to do after mom locks out their wow for the nightPosted: May 26, 2010 1:45 PM -
I wont play a space MMO, unless it has a bad guy in it named "Kyron the back stabber", and lets me zipp around , taking people out of the mix, in a veritech or cyclone (Robotech). Although I may checkout the starwars thingi, but I don't put much hope in an MMO where everyone is gonna want to be a jedi and fling light sabers FTW.
Posted: May 26, 2010 4:33 AM -
Because I couldn't find a review on G$ for either of these, here you go Casey, check them out.
If you like swords and orc type fantasy realms, where everything looks like you are Gandalfs apprentice and the action is first person and intense, "Darkfall" passes the muster. "Darkfall" is incredibly rich in environmental and character art and is one of the funnest games I've seen. It is very realistic, for a world full of monsters, and the character sheets are clever. The GUI is revelutionary and can be made transparent and each bar and widow moved where you want. Darkfall took me 1 week to get the hang of and I am impressed, even though it borrows heavilly from other stories.
Im still wondering WTF about "kingdom under fire 2's" release date (looks insane on youtubes and makes me glow). If you look at the trailer for it on you tube you will be saying where is this game and why is it so late. Kingdom under fire boast epic sized battles (hundreds of players and bots) that look exactley like lord of the rings, and the graphics look like a masterpiece of the fantasy genera.Posted: May 24, 2010 4:42 AM -
Casey, I have a question. After 5 long and wasted years of wow I quit playing, gear score and dps meters really ruined the whole fun of a vast game of lore and content for me. I recently tried out a Russian game called Allods. I was wondering what your take is on this mmo. I'm not even sure If I like playing mmo's after wow to be honest. The people that play wow now are only concerned with how much damage they do and how awsome their "heroic" gear is. Thats not what I am about.

Happy b-day Casey.
Also, i'm wondering if the Warhammer debacle (and the continuing Warhammer problems) are part of the reason people are veering away from subscription games.
me, though? WoWcrack 4Evar~Posted: May 22, 2010 9:48 PM -
Have a happy Birthday, Casey! And keep up the MMO Reports for years to come! Just keep the blood alcohol levels low enough so that you REMEMBER said birthday. :-9

haha that ring-ton gives me a great idea. If you're ever in public like a game-store and you let one rip loudly for all to hear, quickly grab your cell and answer it. Hello, hello?..... hahaha

I thought that study mentioned Runescape as being one of the top games WoW players were moving to.

Damn, this mailbag just keeps getting worse every time...Might as well jsut follow Casey's example.

I'm pretty sure that MMO that you are talking about is named Vandictus. It used to be called Mabinogi Heroes based off another Nexon F2P game of the same title.

Ahh damn, he still didn't talk about the mmo I heard him mention on a brief mmo report during X-Play May 19th, 2010. Does anyone know what game I'm talking about? Very vague but all I remember is in it you can see your armor being destroyed and the environment is destroyable.

First off, I really want some of that G4 stationary.
Second: Guild Wars 2 reveal at E3...what? Somehow I don't find that very likely at all. Does G4 know something we don't?Posted: May 20, 2010 6:31 PM

This is the Chypre T-Rex of the big Chypres in the 80s. In its genre we had Paloma Picasso (more floral) Diva a honeyed rose feminine civet sexy siren, Montana - an angular sharp in your face leathered neon damascone rose, Knowing the Estee Lauder Classy Chypre of florals on a bed of oakmoss, and then the dark gothic cousin of an evolved Mitsuoko-TRex of the 80s Chypres-La Nuit.
The green artemesia and bitter fruit with the aged oakmoss base lurches to the start, a fusty opening much like the opening of Mitsuoko or Parure. Your in the mossy forest at night and Magie Noire seems like the junior league compared to La Nuit.
A honeyed jasmine oily rose on a bed of moss. The pepper adds an elegant spice and turns into the leather patchouli. The powdery musks and animalic civet add a growl through the formulation to add a lived in warmth. This is so out of step with 2017 sensibilities and yet, there is a richness, primal intrigue about it.
You just dont put a toe in the water with La Nuit. You are all in or all out. You drench yourself in it and watch it roar and transcend into a warm fur coat meant to only be worn at night. However at my age, Id rock it in the day to shake up the joint. Guaranteed head turner. Vintage edp reviewed
One night of humid summer, cross a leafy road, in the sticky wind, under the shadow of soft and soapy flowers dripping a slow scent, oily, primitive. From the few houses come some oblivious different messages. Now is the wave of a double bass that lazy plays in some room in the dark. Now instead from the obscurity of a garden, where living trunks burnt by the day resting balsamic, is someone who aspires tobacco from a pipe or a cigar, which tells us of ancient things. Further on, from an open window, a faint light rains on wooden and red armchairs around; glimpsed a woman still in her bathrobe, hair wet, she started to read a book; we guesses the title, a noir is La Nuit by Paco Rabanne.
Histoire d'Amour by Aubusson is similar, more sparkly.
I have a cap of this if someone wants it. PM me if interested. I think it's for a 50ml bottle. I'll post worldwide. No charge - it doesn't weigh much.
What a masterpiece of Oriental chypre glory!
La Nuit (The Night) represents a time when fragrances for both men and women were ultimately unisex because of their depth & complexity, their artistry & elaborate detail. Every note is perfection in this cologne. This was selling through the 80's and I bought it after smelling it on my lawyer in a firm (a lady) who wore it. I thought it smelled like a man's cologne in the same vein as Opium by Yves Saint Laurent, Coco Eau de Parfum by Chanel & Magie Noire by Lancôme. To me fragrances do not come with genitals or gender, a scent or collection of scents/notes are neither feminine or masculine. Fragrances are only marketed to men & women but fragrances transcend the limitations of gender and are made for all and universal. If you like a fragrance, that's your fragrance. Paco Rabanne when they hired the best talent in the business. The nose behind this scent is Rosendo Mateu & I love his work. This fragrance captivated me. After the aforementioned lawyer noticed I was wearing it, she didn't like it & changed her perfume. It was like out of a sitcom because neither of us ever talked about it. She was a very skilled and just professional who defended me in court over a matter that I won't discuss on here.
La Nuit opens with citrus including a tangerine but rather than coming off as astringent citrus or aftershave, the citruses are fresh and alcoholic in the old school style before they pass into the spiciness of this fragrance's early performance. Right away I could smell artemisia & pepper, perhaps coriander, and basil. These are mainly spicy scents, which are clearly unisex. This scent does not smell floral or sweet, it has no gourmand deliciousness nor extra fruited flavors. There is a Gothic, brooding, dark & dismal air to this fragrance. It makes me think back to English Lit Class, a scent suggestive of Heathcliff from Wuthering Heights; it is a night in the Moors of Northern England, the setting for Bronte's tragic novel. Chilly winds & ominous clouds over dark woods. This is a fragrance of a deep forest in the midnight hour. It's woodsy notes are dominant & they smell like cedar, moss & birch. The woods in this cologne are decidedly masculine. There is nothing sweet or powdery about this fragrance. It dates back to a time when women had no problem wearing something this woodsy.
At the heart is a beautiful honeyed rose, almost identical to the big honey & rose pairing in Ungaro's Diva but because this is so much more spicier & muskier with civet secretion, leather, patchouli and woods, the whole thing is earthier, greener & more rugged than the feminine Diva. A jasmine note accompanies the rose & honey. Sweet just for a moment. The florals are so small that one wonders why they even bothered to include them as notes at all. But I'm glad they did. The honey note is delectable & the rose is absolutely fantastic. This rose smells a bit like the singular warm spicy rose in such scents as Frederic Malle's Portrait of A Lady, or the rose note in Chanel Egoiste. Before long, the fragrance dries and leaves behind the citrus & spices & florals, settling down to the aromatic patchouli, dark woods and a hell of a lot of musk. This thing came with civet and though it's hard to tell if it's real or not, the musk is a praiseworthy note. The animalistic air to this cologne is engaging. It reminds me of the warm musk in Paloma Picasso. There is even leather and that provides this scent with more musk than was usual for a woman's perfume. At times it reminded me of Musc Ravageur but this fragrance came first.
Far from any Paco Rabanne fragrance that sells today. Paco, man, what the hell happened ? How did we go from this amazing work of art in perfumery to 1 Million & Black X and all that trash. Please go back to the old formulas that used to throw out such a sublime aroma of real perfume. This comes off as outdated today & of course it is rather strong, but one does not have to bathe in it. I like to smell this on myself & no one likes it on me but who gives a damn what others like. What counts if what you like. This is an expensive smelling & grandiose Oriental musk & woods scent. Incredible longevity - all day and the next - sillage & warmth. Suited to winter time or autumn, when leaves change color and when a cold air comes in. This is like a cape of musk and a woodsy embrace.
While I may not be as poetic as the previous reviewer Ms. Lucia Lawson, I do understand how this fragrance can evoke the beauty of the night, and how mysterious & alluring it is. This fragrance can indeed work well on women who love to wear Magie Noire (the only scent it's closest to) and wear black evening gowns, dark clothing, Goth fashions. This is a witchy & wondrous fragrance that I wish could come back. You can still find this cologne online on ebay and other sites that specialize in hard to find discontinued treasures.
I am wearing this fragrance in December because it's musk warms me up & this has always been such a winner to me. I can't believe Paco Rabanne won't reformulate it or re-issue it at least as a similar but lighter Eau de Toilette edition. La Nuit is a superb unforgettable scent, composed as a masterpiece of dark hues: midnight blue, black, deep purple, and dark brown. his is a nocturnal creature of confidence & mystery. La Nuit is sexy, seductive, bewitching. Any woman wearing this will get anything she wants and go far in life. Any man wearing this has great taste in fragrances.
Bravo Mateu!
Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven
This is the only Paco Rabanne fragrance I have ever worn. And you want to know something? This is the greatest of any of the Rabanne fragrances and blows any of their current or recently issued fragrances out of the water. This perfume is so incredible. La Nuit is meant to evoke a night in an Oriental garden, redolent with honeyed florals, leather, woods and musk. Every note is like a star in the sky at night. I want to cry sometimes just thinking how fragrances like this don't exist anymore. No one is even thinking the same way they used to, when perfume was perfume. I just sigh & feel fortunate to have actually worn fragrances like this in my lifetime.
La Nuit, from a distance, might come off as an Oriental of the 80's when fragrances like this were being made as if from the same cloth. This perfume reminds one of Magie Noire by Lancôme & Paloma Picasso. This perfume, however, is so much more than a label. "Oriental", "1980's", do you think that's all there is to perfume? In fact, the noses behind this scent were inspired by Schiaparelli Shocking, which is a beautiful fragrance. There is a little nod to Coco Eau de Parfum by Chanel as well; so of course it was going to sell. She is extraordinary, a scented nightingale, a ravishing creature of the night.
My 2nd husband (my worst) who betrayed me with a blonde, and who absolutely abhorred my Magie Noire, thought of this perfume as suitable for a harlot. He used to come up to me and smell the perfume on my collarbone and said "This perfume is not suggestive of your personality at all & it smells like a man's cologne, so why would you wear this?". But he was a dolt. What did he know about perfume? What did he know about how this fragrance, with it's exoticism and intoxicating scent could whisk me away from him and into a world of bigger & better things?
I should have been a novelist. When I wore epic Oriental fragrances like this one, my imagination was ablaze. Mmm. This perfume conjures up images of crescent moons, owls perched on branches, dark woods, cypress, pines, lonely roads. In fact when I first analyzed this scent it made me think of the Appian Way in Italy - at night. If this perfume came with a more attractive & creative bottle (the packaging was lackluster) of my own design I would have had a painting like VAN GOGH'S STARRY NIGHT, or of the Appian Way at night under a crescent moon. Inhale this scent and you will see what I mean. It takes you by the hand into a realm of night, with myriads of stars and a romantic darkness. She is rather "Goth", witchy, sinister but beautiful. I have performed as the Queen of the Night in Mozart's opera Die Zauberflote The Magic Flute & yes, La Nuit by Paco Rabanne matches up with her character. She is a songbird who descends from a dark cloud and she is perched on a crescent moon.
Notes include citruses, basil, tangerine, peach & honey; each note is never too fruity or tropical i.e. think the peach & sweet citrus note in Coco Eau de Parfum. This is lemony and fresh to provide it with a top note lift and oomph, as it can't start off dry or dark. She starts off like the sunset, and you can still smell sweet scents of fruit & spice before they fade away and the night descends. A honeyed floral heart reveals night blooming jasmine, a rather enormous rose, made of red velvet petals. This part, the florals, is my favorite. Unlike other Orientals, including Coco, this perfume allows time for you to "smell the flowers". This is one absolutely beautiful rose perfume. The rose is incredibly fragrant and lush, but spiced up, smoky, a rose on fire, with flames of incense. For the longest time I thought there was incense here but it was pepper & spices. They conjure up images of conflagration, of a forest fire. This is a warm scent.
Other notes consist of a very rich honey and honeycomb a tad like the honey notes in Krizia Teatro Alla Scala my signature scent; but here it's sweetening up the jasmine. This is a pretty unique honey jasmine, never again will you find such a lovely pairing of honey and white jasmine. Once the fragrance is no longer floral, the nocturnal notes take over. A dark leather, decidedly masculine, rubbery & warm, emerges from the depths. There is also musk & an aromatic green oily patchouli. This portion of the fragrance - patchouli & what might come off as asafetida - is remarkably similar to Magie Noire. Bitter, green and vinegar in her aroma. In today's context, this is far too outdated & oily. Perfume used to be more like a scented oil but now it's something else isn't it? I miss fragrances that were of natural extract & this is a very natural perfume, devoid of anything superficial. She is, however, rather sweet & unassuming, like a child's painting of a night time setting.
This perfume becomes warmer and muskier as it dries &
it turns into a woods scent, 100 percent woods. As such this is not an Oriental perfume but a chypre. This is a very well crafted chypre. It was wearable in the 80's but today it would smell like a man's cologne or woman's unisex perfume to wear on a night out to the theater, a dinner, you name it. But with a name and scent of black night, she can only be worn at night. This perfume is warm & wintery so like with perfumes of this nature, it would sour & turn ugly in spring. I only wore her in the cold evening winters in London. This perfume, like Magie Noire, was one of my (pardon my French) fuck off perfumes for whenever anyone, including the man I was married to, tried to disparage me or disrespect me. I never allowed him to belittle me or demean me, and though that divorce was one I will never forget for it's painful process, it was perfumes like this that got me through it.
La Nuit is an incredibly gorgeous fragrance. I am seriously hurt by th fact it's been discontinued and I can only wear the remaining contents of my last bottle. When I'm out of it, I cannot wear her again. This perfume is so powerful and makes me feel confident and young again. I will always cherish and love this fragrance. If you're lucky enough to find her in a rummage sale, online, or anywhere, hang on to it for dear life. This is a million times superior to the garbage being issued by Paco Rabanne today like Million or Lady Million. This perfume is the real deal. The sillage, the longevity, the wildly remarkable unashamed muskiness, this was more than a perfume, it was an entire period of sundown to dawn in a bottle. She was the most romantic & most poetic homage to the night with stars & woods, darkness & lone wolves.
A fragrance such as this came but once in a lifetime.
I think it's important to distinguish between if you have an EDP or EDT. There was a blog about La Nuit smelling like horse sweat. I love the smell of a sweaty horse. That's the cowgirl in me.
The EDP does not smell like horse sweat however. Not even close.
Maybe they thought the basil would make it smell grassy? I didn't smell any leather.
It smells powdery and mature. A little spicy and reminiscent of Givenchy Organza. It's a nice fragrance, but not what I intended it for.
I am curious if the EDT smells more like horse sweat, and will look into it.
What would happen if vintage Nahema met vintage Magie Noire.....La Nuit, that´s what. WOW I LOVE LOVE this. Bourbon sweet honey amber civet, THEN flowers, greens too. Powder... but a RICH whipping cream powder. Sweet but soft too. Powerful but not heavy or strong. We are talking midnight blue cut silk. OMG take me now.
Edp in white bottle is totally different than the one in blue bottle ,but only in the beginning.
Had no idea until I received a sample of the blue one.
But , as the hours pass ,the beauty of Diva comes out of the perfume molecules .
Now I am really curious about the edt.
White = v strong Diva twin from the start.
Blue = much softer , oldish ,soapy ,Revson style fume (my guess is that this one is more dipending on the ph , while the other one does not change on different types of skin ,like most strong fumes ).
What to say ,perfume is sort of lottery :-D
Who knows which bottle came out first ?
P.S. After many hours of wearing the blue bottle sample : it has developed into a soft but noticeable mix of Diva + Eaudemoiselle. Not bad at all.
Next day ,morning , still there ,the beautiful soft Diva.
Am in love with it ,but as I already have the white bottle , no need to go for the blue one.
Ok , they both are twins of Diva.
Now , Fragrantica ,why won't you accept Diva on the reminds me of list ?????????
Paco Rabanne's The Night is a beautiful luxurious Oriental fragrance. I'm not usually into these type of unisex woodsy scents, or chypres, but my taste in fragrances have changed. This is straight out of the same fragrance family as Chanel's Coco Eau de Parfum (vintage 1980's edition) Paloma Picasso or Lancomes Magie Noire. Smells more like Paloma. It smells like a lot of things: orange, jasmine, honey, musk, civet, leather, woods and moss. It's an evening cologne to wear with black clothes, sexy, mysterious, seductive. It's mature, but not old lady ish. In fact it smells just like some of my school teachers when I was little. The woods are strong so you have to be into woods. But there's something for everyone. I enjoy the feminine touches of honey and the florals: rose and jasmine. This is so amazing. It's a bomb so I wear this only a few times for special occasions and only use a little bit dabbing it on the sides of my neck. I get many compliments on it. It's amazing how Rabanne went from producing this masterpiece to something much less complex like Olympea. Both scents are good but this this is awesome.
I am seriously into vintage chypre perfumes having worn mitsouko & magie noire in the past. I read a review re this fragrance basically saying all paco rabanne's creations since this little gem come nowhere near it. Having purchased a miniature 5ml eau de parfum I am seriously in love . Warm exotic an incredible dry down that envelops one's olfactory senses.
Other 80s icon ... amazing and gorgeous fragance, instensive, powerfull, alcoholic, sweet, misterious, addictic ... like some whiskey or licquor . . . There are not much fragances that surprising like that ... Armani for her 82, First, Coco -clasic- , Montana Parfum d Peau, Oscar de la Renta - then called Oscar- , Femme de Rochas . . .
Saddly Paco Rabanne s noses only produce XS and OneMillion and all of them similar and boring franchisies ... Why this masterpiece are missing???

I love fragrances that evoke the night. This is one of them. Such a romantic elegant chypre perfume. It's the kind of fragrance that I love to smell over and over while closing my eyes and inhaling the fumes. It evokes a Mediterranean evening in an Italian villa by the cliffs of Capri. I can smell the roses and jasmines but they're not overpowering. This is a scent which is bigger on oak moss, patchouli, basil, woods, and civet musk. Unisex because of the citric top notes and the musky base note. Mature, elegant, confident, seductive. Mmmm. Love it.
Totally Absolutely Completly agree with La Dame Noir ... Paco Rabanne doesn t care about his masterpieces that were icons ... There are several and XS One Millon and bla bla bla ... La Nuit, Metal, and Calandre should come back
Just a few words:
Paco Rabanne should forget all the obnoxious Olympèas, Lady Millions, Black Excess...all these unremarkable flankers, clones of other already existing fragances and relaunch this absolute beauty. I cannot understand why on hell did they discontinue this wonder so soon. This was the ultimate perfume for the ultimate, seductive, powerful woman.
Put this close to the recent Olympéa and it is like to put Lauren Bacall or Rita Hayworth, one of those great, beautiful actresses of the silver screen, close to Hannah Montana, Britney Spears or someone like that...
I found quite a few bottles of "La Nuit" at an old souk in Lebanon:) some dusty and vintage and some in the newer box/font/bottle. I bought the dustiest one i could find lol.
After a few months of acquaintance i can review this goodie. First let me say i dont think La Nuit is very animalic, Bandit still wins hands down. La Nuit is another gorgeous oriental/chypre in the 80's style, in the lineage of Paloma picasso, Knowing, and the 70's Magie noire. Yet it's warmer, the honey has a golden warm presence, mingling with a soft animalic vibe, and the glorious heady chypre moss, leather and oily florals.
I also don't get the Roman orgy thing going on. Not very distinctive among the other fragrances i mentioned, but a well made one.
scent: 7+/10
longevity: 6/10
sillage: 7/10
I'm an outlier in the overall experience of La Nuit, which on me was all dark green and serrated vetiver with a drizzle of honey. I wish I'd gotten the rose/honey/civet that other people describe as a positively Roman orgy of decadent and animalic notes.
Nowadays Paco Rabanne noses are only interested in One Millon and XS ... and completly forget this masterpiece... Why this succesfull icon are missing???
I must try this - I have a feeling I can pull this off as I can pull off the oddest and most complex scents... lucky me to have such versatile chemistry! If Vintage CHanel Cuir de Russie melds perfectly with my skin, along with Paloma Picasso, Red, and you name it!... then I'll bet this one will too
omg Le_Coeur_Gothique
Your review has sold this goth ghoul ^-^
The female version of tenere' or furyo. Wearable by man. Is unisex.incredible understimated. 8/10
On my skin,this smells like an oily,sweet Cabotine de Gres.It is obviously the night version of Cabotine :-)
And in the end it turns into a milder Diva.Voila ,an interesting trip.
My Gala is not similar to La Nuit.
This is for a mini which might be the edt (nothing written on the tiny bottle in a sampling set).
Now I've got the edp and it is twin of Diva.
-"You should't have missed the party last night chap!"
-"Why dude?"
-"Cause you lost the chance to feast your eyes on the most stunning woman you'll probably ever see."
-"Aye mate! She had the most breathtaking angles on her face and the most bewitching curves below it. And she did knew how to play and throw every single one of them!"
-"Gee man! Why didn't you give me a ring?"
-"Cause after she stormed the room, everyone forgot there was a world outside it."
-"Sounds like she did smelled some blood, huh?"
-"Smelled you said? Her scent buddy! Oh my...her scent!"
-"What about it pal?"
-"It was as her scarf drenched in it was wrapped around my face, taking me slowly to oblivion and rendering me incapable of uttering a single word."
-"How did it smell like chum?"
-"Dangerous, profane, sharp, dominant, and hollering "Dare me if you dare!" Like a feral animal's den, which despite the dangers that might lurk inside, it makes you feel an irresistible impulse to enter it. Like nobody's business!"
-"Surely sounds like meaning business."
-"She drunk a truckload, zeroed everyone in, smoked a carton and ripped her clothes off. Everybody, and I mean everybody, stood agape at her naked splendour!"
-"And then?"
-"And then she turned into a werewolf!"
-"A wer..."
-"And gracious sakes lad, she got even more beautiful!..."
Try Paloma Picasso or Diva (Ungaro) in the same style
Why Paco Rabanne do not preserve his masterpieces? La Nuit is one of them. An icon. Now it's all XS / One Millon this ... XS / One Millions that ... Black XS ... blah blah blah ... can someone tell me if can get La Nuit in some perfumes or business or place ??? There are some VERY similar actualmentente fragrance?

This was a blind buy for me, but what a surprise when I put it on and knew the smell. Back in the early 90's I worked at Nordstrom and would smell this from time to time on the women who came in to shop.
It's a heavy perfume with lots of civit, honey, and oakmoss. But that's not all, there's also a lot of leather, rose, jasmine, patchouli, and peppers too. It's a rich, dense, beautiful and sexy fragrance from the 80's..
I'm sorry for the good reviews....I left my EDP bottle outside in the living room ....The smell is dense, thick, annoying and very heavy. The bottle was with the cap on ....but we could still smell the fragrance everywhere....in a bad way.
First version edp. Fascinating, intoxicating scent. Golden, warm, herbal and acrid start. Later, a very long lasting witches' brew dry down: deer foot, period blood, pungent rose and hot spicy honey. The imaginary texture is not thick but glowing and radiant like Chanel No.5.
Got a sample of this in the mail today. Wow! This is impressive stuff! Opening is all wood and smoke to me. Very heavy, a bit too strong for my taste. After the powerful opening that lasts about 20 minutes, soft leather comes in and some flowery-sweetness. No, I do not think this suits me, although it is an interesting scent. I imagine it could smell very attractive on the right person. Certainly worth a try, if you like woody, smokey, powerful fragrances.
Glorious! Must have for honey-civet combination lovers. A sister of Shocking Schiaparelli old EDC version, but Shocking's civet clouds are flowing under narcissus fields, while in La Nuit big suedy rose grows in artemisia bushes..which adds to mildly sweet fragrance slightly bitter herbaceous taste. Its still honeyed-civet world, sensual, secretive, alternative reality to modern existence.
Wild Nights – Wild Nights!
Were I with thee
Wild Nights should be
Our luxury!
Futile – the winds –
To a heart in port –
Done with the compass –
Done with the chart!
Rowing in Eden –
Ah, the sea!
Might I moor – Tonight –
In thee!

This does remind me of Soir de Lune by Sisley. Interesting that the time of day is both how they are titled. And it's true, for me, Soir de lune is like the evening, whereas la Nuit, is darker, later, like 'the night'. Both incredably sensual and rich.
Beautiful, soft, honeyed rose. I'm not sure what everyone else is smelling!!
Edt being reviewed. To me I feel this sits between Joy / Madame Rochas aldyhydics with strong jasmine Rose and Rose Chypres like Knowing,Diva, and La Perla.
This smells more vintagey,somewhat musty like a grandmothers handbag. I'm usually very fond of many vintage scents but this may be a bit much . Especially in summer heat and humidity . I think I'll need to retest this in cooler fall weather.
Editing May 7th,2015 : I still find my comparisons to be on point , but on a cool evening when I'm in the mood for this , this is perfect, elegant and rich. A sensual ,dark mysterious scent to envelope my dreams.
Firstly, let me just say that I can feel the smell coming from the closed vial as I enter the room, without exaggeration. Top notes: civet, oakmoss, leather, honey, jasmine, rose, patchouli - resinous-animalic blast, in your face. There's initial whiff of sweetness (honey,jasmine) which could be considered as sexy or feminine, but is soon overwhelmed by darkness (patchouli, civet, leather, oakmoss) making it smell more unisex/masculine than femme fatale - as I hoped for. My other expectations (and prejudices) do not stand, as well; come-over-here-and-take-the-dirty- leather pants-off fragrance for a woman that means business? Not really. After the initial civet-muscle showing and developing/struggling with prevailing patch (it ruins it for me) in the middle, the drydown is most serious and serene trail of dusty rose and oakmoss. Classy. If there was any dirtiness, it is surely gone.
Yes, she was wild back then, but now she's Aromatics Elixir and married to a rich and conservative patchouli. Beautiful, just not what I expected.
(vintage EdP)
Last night I tried two drops from a mini I was given recently. I instantly fall in love with it and today I wanted more. It's not a proper fragrance for the office but I could not resist. Glorious, dirty, dangerous, lovely '80s chypre. Civet, rose and oakmoss in a stunning combination. Honey is also very noticeable and transforms the entire composition into a sultry blend. It's so captivating that I cannot describe it properly with words but only with a song.
Oh, the night is my world
City light painted girl
In the day nothing matters
It's the night time that flatters
In the night, no control
Through the wall something's breaking
Wearing white as you're walkin'
Down the street of my soul
You take my self, you take my self control
You got me livin' only for the night
Before the morning comes, the story's told
You take my self, you take my self control
Another night, another day goes by
I never stop myself to wonder why
You help me to forget to play my role
You take my self, you take my self control
I, I live among the creatures of the night
I haven't got the will to try and fight
Against a new tomorrow, so I guess I'll just believe it
That tomorrow never comes
A safe night, I'm living in the forest of my dream
I know the night is not as it would seem
I must believe in something, so I'll make myself
believe it
That this night will never go
Laura Branigan "Self Control" 1984
Oh my La Nuit! Why do the best fragrances are the ones getting discontinued?! My quest for La Nuit started with my love for skank and the quest for something stronger than Kouros. Even though Kouros stands out even today, not only among masculine fumes, but as a chypre, it's not what it used to be. I have memories from my childhood of men smelling of Kouros and it has definitely been castrated. The essence is there but it has had its voice muted. I prefer the memory of what once was...
So the idea of La Nuit intrigued me until I finally found a vintage (the only formulation known to me, as it was discontinued soon after it's launch) edp, sealed, 100ml, ready to come home with me.
I don't recall Tabu, though I'm sure that as a child I must have smelt it, but La Nuit fits the description of a powerful animalic.
The opening blast is a full on rich civet, covered in real oakmoss, along with a touch of honey to further dirtify things up, just how I like my animalics. For the first hour or so the sillage is huge, embracing me in a warm furry way and making me swoon until it settles down a bit letting the indolic jasmine and rose take center stage for a while, before settling in a leathery muskiness.
The animal has growled, and now even though it still makes its presence known, it murmurs, never shouts, unless you lean closer. Civet is up front from beginning to end, which on my skin is about 12 hours. This fiery animal has some similarities to Bandit mainly from the leather-oakmoss-civet trinity, but where Bandit is a cold hearted dominatrix, La Nuit is a warm, skin-on-fire wild cat begging to be caressed. Highly sensual, it evokes thoughts of desire, lust, erotica... One of the best animalic chypres I have ever tried, and one which I will definitely use without moderation, as I don't believe such a torrid love afair should be kept secret. Still easily available on ebay, if you love perfumes of yore and the sensuality of a REAL perfume, don't miss out the chance to try it, it's a breathtaking perfume!
I am looking for the parfum 7,5ml that is inside a metal case!If anyone of you already has this and want to sell or if you have seen this on internet for selling, please contact me in my private messages!
Thank you!! :-)
Just received my bottle of La Nuit and I agree with several of the reviews. My first impression was that of 'Tabu by Dana' then it went into 'an animal farm meets flowers' finally settling into honey softness. Ultimately I'm not impressed.
Great expectations!!!!Looking forward to smell this one and hope that although it is one of those that are rare to find...you feel true love at first sniff!!p.s.Does anyone please know where I can find just a samle of this?
I've only tried the EdP formulation. Complex; very rich and natural smelling, as well as strong. The "feminine" version of Kouros. Candyfloss fruity/floral lovers run for the hills! Need one say more?
Okay, La Nuit, I'm so sorry, I tried so hard to like you, but no.
This is the only perfume I think I've ever come across that I couldn't like or even appreciate. Every time I wore it I thought 'this must be what secretions magnifique smells like.'
Straight up - I get hay from a dirty rabbits hutch, wet dog, wee, and to add insult to injury this sickly cheap floral hairstray smell. Like someone spraying glade airfreshener in a dirty stale house. Again, I've never experienced this in a perfume before! This is the first time I've ever washed something off, I've heard people say they've washed perfume off and I've thought "how bad can it be?" Bad.
And every time I wear this I seem to get really itchy, not just on the site of the spray but also all over. Bear in mind, like a masochist, I wore this maybe 5 times. trying a small discreet spray, and also a good blast all over. Every time it made me nauseas.
Did I get a bad bottle? I don't know. I get that a lot of people love this perfume and its supposed to be complicated, I can understand that. Just don't wear it near me.
Anyone wanna swap?
I just received La Nuit in the mail today. I adore leather scents and got this as a blind buy. I sprayed it on my wrist a few hours ago. Its not love at first sniff... I feel like I need to get to know this one.
It doesn't smell just flat out dirty, skanky or animalic to me like I was expecting - its quite perfumey - its reminding me of sweet hairspray for some reason. hmm yes I'm going to have to spend at least a few days getting to know La Nuit.
Just received my La Nuit! God, was I scared the first seconds when I tested it! It really is Tabu sprayed on a horse, but I just can't stand Tabu. Seconds later, Tabu left the house and came the honeyed rose like the one in Gucci L'Arte. Things started to make sense. It was like a very hot summer day in the farm when the flowers are starting to close and you can smell the animals in the barn! It is dark, it is evil, it smells dangerous, like some cruel animal is on heat and on the hunt! Amazing smell and indeed the most animalic scent I ever tried. Could be a masculine perfume. I'm delighted, but still a little scared. This smells like danger!
I must say that after all the reviews, I experienced some trepidation regarding this perfume. I thought better of it and bought a bottle.My instincts towards certain tastes never fails to let me down.
The first application was somewhat cautious,I received a modest puff of fragrance which emanated from my wrist. It was pleasant I thought,but was that all? I couldn't discern the character of the fragrance so I waited 15 minutes and thought to hell with it!
I splashed myself with a more generous application and low and behold,the genie was uncorked. A haze of hesperidic notes unfurled all radiating a warmth and shimmering. It must be said that it feels like a sort of a leathery animalic Coco,Chanel variant(in the Parfum concentration anyway)with it's complex and rich bouquet of mimosa, passionfruit, neroli,aldehydes,roses,jasmine all dancing on the skin.
The initial similarities are deceiving however, as the fragrance evolves along a different path. The smouldering notes die down to a quiet murmur and dusk sets on the skin. It then become a dry,refined and sensual skin scent based on cedar, moss, labdanum and civet providing the finale.
I would recommend this for any leather/animalic perfume lover. It's not as scary as it's made out to be(if Bandit and it's upstart, Cabochard troubles you, then please give it a miss)And guys, please consider this as a option as it gives the second impression of heat on skin. Very sexy!
I tried this twice. The first time it was animalic and sensual, subtle, and did not smell dated at all.
However, the second try betrayed my nose with an assault of cauliflower aroma marinating in the sweat of a dog's paw pads. It kind of smelled like an 80s perfume that expired along with corn chips, dirty fur, and rotten vegetables thrown into the horrid cocktail.
I guess it's one of those "skin chemistry is everything" lessons we all eventually learn. Or maybe the sample expired.
After reading Assiduosity's review below, I couldn't resist ordering a sample of La Nuit. I don't have the artistry to do it proper justice in this post, but I can say that it is magnificent. This is classified as chypre/floral, but I think it is also distinctly oriental. I loooooove this fragrance. Right out of the gate (or sprayer), I get sweet honey, leather, rose...as it dries down the cedar & woods come into view; then - horrors - the spiciness starts blooming on my skin, and at that point I am afraid that it is becoming monstrous and too much for me to handle. Spicy fragrances do that on me. :-( But then, the civet arrives. Once we're in full swing the civet & honey perform their animalic magic, and the spiciness retreats to a more respectful distance, allowing the rose to shine again. I thoroughly enjoy animalic notes in perfumery. To me, they make a perfume smell more authentic, sexier of course, and add irresitible mystique. I suppose that's because I am of generation that grew up smelling and wearing perfumes with animalic bases. The thing about these animalic based fragrances is that the faintest whiff makes its point. No need to be heavy handed. The sweet honey stays consistently in the foreground on my skin, while various other notes play peekaboo, coming forward and backward – rose, jasmine, leather, cedar and camphory woods (patchouli?), aromatic spice, civet & oakmoss combined - that dusty funk. And amid all the advancing and retreating aromas is a sweet pure floral innocence, exactly as described in the review below. I like this fragrance SO much more than Coco. It keeps my interest - no, commands it. It is a very sexy fragrance, perfect for night time sorcery. I'm actually sampling it on a gray, sleety day spent indoors, and that'll do, too.
Paco Rabanne's La Nuit is a perfume of the night, almost sacrilegious in its animalistic sexual intensity.
It is a fragrance both feral and fecal, given mediaeval epic length and grandeur by a structure of heavy moss-frosted wooden lintels.
And yet, at it's heart there is a powerful rose. Which, at first appearing innocent, is too revealed to be both knowing and corruptible.
This is a scent of labour and war like aggression taken from the brink of actual violence by the be-stilling force of a floral feminine aspect.
Sadly lost to us for now, out of print and unregarded. As long as original manuscripts exist its mythic status can only grow.
So that tiresome modern question? Male or female?
I suggest you go read your sagas for the Witch and the Knight play equal parts in this story and should in this scent too.
What a beautiful mastery of rose this is. It (The vintage EDP) opens with a sweet spicy honeyed herbal quality that is difficult to describe. The fruit emerges, always smelling overripe. For a very long time after that, a beautiful wilted rose scent (Gulkand, if you're familiar with it) mingles with a very animalic spicy fruity middle. After many hours when it is perhaps its best, a stunning and almost completely unadorned animal base knocks your socks off. I can't think of anything more animalic than this fragrance. In addition to all of the pretty animalic notes, there is a huge civet note that adds a hint of decay. This is death interpreted beautifully through perfume.
The most animalic perfume ever - Turin was right. Utterly perfect. This should be purchased by anyone who is serious about their appreciation of perfumery.
This one could go on my short list of favorites, (as opposed to my lengthy list of favorites)! On me, this is a sexy, elegant classic. It really has the elements that would carry you through the day and night, and any scenario in between. At times it was oh so sweet, then that would drop back and the civet would come to the forefront. The notes play like an intricate waltz, always beautiful and uplifting.
People are so bloody stupid and have no taste. This scent should never have gone out of production. It is SEXY and still somehow, elegant.
Sex in a bottle. "Akats" is right: it's right for the very private occasions. From all the pefumes I use this smell is a typicall "bed smell" and I'm so lucky, that I managed to hunt it :) The smell of a hunter...
I bought an Edp also, and I was surprised to find it more to an oriental edge. As someone said, it is a bit like great orientals as Opium and Cinnabar. This is sweet. Animalic. Oh yes... civet is powerful here. I can easily smell the moss, leather and honey after the first 10 minutes, mixed with patchouli, wood and some pepper. No bitterness, no harshness. The smell retains always its animalic sweetness, but in a subtle way. I don't think it as overpowering, unless you overdo it when spraying it. The fragrance melts into your skin after one hour and soon becomes very soft and gentle. To be honest, I love it but I don't think that I can wear this in the morning. I will keep it for special occasions or my private pleasure. It is a fantastic smell but not for an everyday use.
I'm a fan of JEAN GUICHARD: he has made perfumes that I love too much: "Obsession", "LouLou", "Eden", "Montana Parfum de Peau" ...
Finally, when I received "LA NUIT" EAU DE PARFUM (untested) from FragranceX, I sprayed it on my wrist and I absolutely loved it immediately: strong, wonderful, fantastic, longlasting and very good sillage. This is the only Paco Rabanne' perfume I'm in love: I'm so sad it is discontinued ...
Very classic, very strong, very good stuff. It reminds me of the very spicy classics like Opium, Youth Dew, etc. but a bit sweeter. It could come off rather old worn by a conservative person, but very alluring worn by a 'spicy', on-the-make lass or even lad. Well priced these days.
Definitely a winter scent..goes on powerfully strong but mellows out. How I judge longevity is I spray perfumes on at night and if they are still on me when I wake up then it has good longevity. This one did not pass my test but that's okay because this perfume would be too much if it wore on for hours and hours. Overall, this is a stunning combination of notes and should only be worn by adults over 30. This is not a girly girl perfume...it is for a very confident adult.
In my opinion it's reminiscent of 'Cinnabar' or maybe 'Opium' although until the drydown I detect a tar note that I'm not nuts about. After that it's lovely. I don't know if I'll try to source another bottle though - I'll use what I have and then leave it to the true devotees.
This opened my eyes to the beauty of 80s fragrances. I admit that it is a little dated but still so much better than most scents on the market today.
It's loud and brash. The opening of aldehydic dirty rose soon settles down to a heavy dose of civet. Along the way a few of the other notes add depth; honey, moss, leather. It has spectacular longevity and sillage (I have the edt).
If you want something filthy goregous for those certain nights out then La Nuit is perfect.
Junto a Armani femme, Coco y Fendi ... La Nuit completa el cuarteto de LO MEJOR DE LOS 80s en este estilo, nocturno, dulce y embriagante cuan brandy o posima... lamentablemente nunca mas se encontro... una gran fragancia
So strange a year ago this was nowhere to be found. I finally got a bottle. I do love it. I put on befoe bed last night and it lasted through this afternoon. The civet is the total base without ruining it. I get the honey--amber--jasmine and a hint of the leather. The more i
I wear this, the more I adore. Completely a grown up scent and I think only you can be one to understand the complexity of it. I am huge PR fan and this just ups the collection. I know it is not being made anymore but I am curious if anyone knows how so many bottles can be found when I searched quite furiously last year and the prices were $70-80 an ounce. I just got one for half that. Anyway, get it while you can.
feeling like I'm part of the cast from THE HUNGER...
So classy for the night ! It remember me my 90 s.
Is it possible to find it in France ? Paradoxicaly it is discontnued in the country of Paco Rabanne !!!
This EdT is a strong, musky, floral-oriental chypre that smells like it was made in the 80s - and so it was, but it's not a big, agressive floral. It's much softer, mossier, and muskier than the typical 80s offering. I'm a sucker for this sort of strong-but-soft perfume, so it was pretty much love at first sniff.
The first thing I smelled was aldehydes, mixed florals and a mixed bouquet of musks along with the hint of a base that's a cross between amber and oakmoss-chypre. As it dries down I smell a little of the honeyed rose and peach-plum that others describe, along with patchouli and sandalwood. At this point the sillage is gorgeous. Nothing stands out particularly, with all of it blending together beautifully to produce an amped-up version of a classic chypre. If you're a lover of floral orientals and/or vintage chypres, it's definitely worth a try.
This is totally not my kind of scent, but since so many of you Ladies like it, I have to let you know that it recently reappeared in Superpharm pharmacy network in Poland for a ridiculous price of 50 PLN/30ml which is an equivalent of ca. 10 EUR. Hope some of you will be able to make a trip to PL soon, or use your contats to get it. Good luck!
To read other people's impressions of La Nuit, it is a scent of nostalgia, or something symbolic of an era (the late 70s, it seems, even though it was released in 1985.) I love that scent allows us to make these connections, whether highly personal or shared. To me, La Nuit is evocative of 2007 when I first smelled it. I never got the 'takes me back' thing. And having come up in mid 80s New York, believe me I yearn for those good old, bad old 70s. 70s New York was arcadia to the Reagan/AIDS scary 80s.
But I don't get any of that from La Nuit. It's the end product of a series of olfactive associations. Start with honey and civet. Honey registers to the nose as richness and starts to smell like piss as it gets concentrated. ( I know this from the comb from the hive that grew in our ceiling last summer.) Civet smells anal and then seems spicy /floral in dilution. Turn the volume up and down on these things and you get a range of strong olfactory ideas.
Set these two on the other principal notes, rose and leather, and the whole thing starts sliding back and forth between wholesome and jaded. Honey brings out the sweet and fruity elements of the rose; civet makes rose arid, spicy and hot. Honey makes leather rich and lavish; civet gives leather the nose-feel of sandpaper.
La Nuit allows others to relish the connection to an era. To me, the associations are a little more abstract. Isn't it great that a perfume can do this to us?
Aah! My Precious. You are finally mine.
Your siblings (Metal and Calandre) and I have been waiting. Waiting for your much anticipated arrival for many many long years.
Are you the most beautiful daughter? Maybe.
My love for your sisters is sacred so you must learn to share the limelight My Sweet.
For now relax and enjoy your rank and position Dearest La Nuit as I am utterly under your spell you bewitchingly mesmerizing minx.
Too manly smells Antaeus -
Not the way I want a women to smell like.
This is the night in a bottle! It may be the ultimate gothic vamp perfume ever created. To be sprayed at sunset only! The first 20 minutes after sprayng, it seems so innocent, and then it becomes as dark and mysterious as the night. It projects like a vampires cape and at dawn disappears.
This is a chypre directly decended from Mitsouko. Granted her grandchild dresses in leather skirts, listens to Bauhaus, wears dark eyliner/lipstick, is drop dead beautiful and is really a man. That is La Nuit for me.
The composition is feminine, yet very rough, nearly androgynous. Roses, honey, leather, waxy, butter, peaches, almost too much oakmoss and lots of civet. Yes, I will stress this is a sex bomb. No innocent flirting here. It means business.
This will go down in perfume history as one of the strangest and most provocativly beautiful creations ever. Sadly its discontinued. Perhaps it was too naughty? I think it was just too avant gard for most. By todays moral fragrance standards-XXX contraband! There is still some to be found on E-bay for you curiosity seekers. Its worth the search!
Fruity very animalistic chypre.
Smells like sex. Cat in heat!! The best of Paco Rabanne forever!!!
This smells very sexy. There is something in the opening that reminded me of the bitter green smell of tomato leaves. Then the glowing sweetness of a fresh rose at dusk that has spent all day being warmed by the sun. Something about the rose also reminds me of tomato, this time that voluptuous acidic smell of sliced tomato that to me all real roses have. I can definitely smell powdery old leather with a whisper of tobacco. La Nuit smolders and glows darkly on the skin! I think the sex or sweat note that people get actually smells more like the scent of dried saliva on warmed up skin. Weird, I know, but a very vivid impression. Virginal because of the true real rose but quite libertine because of the other impressions detailed above. Makes me think of think of someone who has just been initiated into the carnal by some passionate and skillful lover and is now has a profound understanding of herself. So rich! I wish more perfume was like this.
I recently purchased a 30ml of EDP of "La Nuit" and now i want more! A lot more!!!! Because this is an absolute stunner to my nose! I an madly in love!!!
Quite sharp in the beginning and a bit too powderly it very quickly settles down and transforms into amazingly attractive scent, one of the best-best i have ever tried! It is dirty sexy, boundaries-free, seductive, animalistic, a bit agressive and vulgar even, "Femme-fatale" like.... Everything what i really like. To me this is THE best Paco Rabanne scent ever creatued up to date! Dirty rose, leather, honey.... pure SEX indeed!! "she´s a man-eater...." this fragrance says, but not screams. She is flirting a lot, but never crosses the line though...
Very long lasting and i can´t stop smelling myself!
In one word, if you haven´t tried it yet, don´t even think about passing this one by!
Update: so strange, but while on my skin it is a stunner, on my friends skin it smells horrible and mud like! I guess it is a chemistry thing indeed.
E' estremamente maschile,non potrei mai indossarlo.Ho sognato di provarlo da tanto tempo,ma quando l'ho provato,ho avuto una grandissima delusione.Sento benissimo il muschio di quercia naturale che non riesco sopportare che mi fa venire la nausea(preferisco quello sintetico veramente).Ho il decant 10 ml edp,chi lo vuole-scrivetemi.
Translation from Italian:
No,it's a very masculine perfume,I couldn't to wear it never. I had a dream to find it and try ,but once I get it I had only a big delusion.I feel well a natural oak moss that make me almost seek if it's in enormous amount.
I had a possibility to buy it here in TK Maxx (UK) 100 ml for 5 pounds,but I left it there for someone stronger than me :)
It is worth to trip all over each other on
ebay for "old" chypre lovers!!!!
Top Notes: Bergamot, Lemon, Tangerine, Myrtle, Cardamom, Artemesia (Armoise)
Heart Notes: Jasmine, Rose, Pepper, Peach
Base Notes: Cedarwood, Leather, Patchouli, Oakmoss, Anamilic note civet
and who knows what else?!
It is so good it could easily be a Balenciaga, if it was not a Bandit soaked in honeyed-rose actually!
The leather note is promising but it falls
short due to the green note drydown but it's not merely a disappointment as it seems it becomes more warmer with the presence of amber and spiciness of rose
the drydown is almost like an homage to the 1845 release of Creed's FLEURS DE BULGARIE with it's warm amberic rose scent
but La nuit is more of a modern edgier
and yet less abuse-of-the-power of Bandit or a cigar smoked room like decadence of habanita, La nuit has an
reserved iciness an inner calm that bandit and habanita can't compare with
almost translucent of your soul and of
the namesake La Nuit.
Every scent tells a story every note
that a perfumer puts in each bottle has
a meaning to his or her life story or an
influence to the perfumer and everyone
has their own interpratation of what
conjures in their minds,
Perhaps for me maybe this is an metaphor
of why there's a heavy greenish opening
it has to do with the dominant worldly
woman and naive school girl sheltered and experienced and the two main notes
exemplifies well like the Leather represent the dominant woman and sexuality' and the
greenish note is the school girl yearning wistfully for her.
This is perfume is about repressed desires and a repressed sexuality in a
I will be blunt. La Nuit doesn't smell like a perfume to my nose, it just smells like most sweaty, animalic, bittersweet skin-to-skin sex.
I just loove La Nuit. One of the sexiest fragrances I ever had. Citrus and basil in the topnotes turnes into a heart of sweet honeyed happy roses. So far just a pretty good rose.
However, within half an hour the singing and joyful rosescent transforms itself into the most dark and whispering overblown rose, dripping of dark honey and... It's like a pulse that turns on that keeps asking you for more. And more. All thanks to the oakmoss, woods. leather and animalistic notes that now enters the heart.
La Nuit is one of the best come-hithers ever made, and I prefer La Nuit over L'Arte de Gucci eventhough it isn't half as sophisticated as L'Arte. Why? Because it is twice as naughty and consequently sexier.
Try it and give it some time of wearing. You will not be dissappointed. You will love it.
Edit. I've found out that leather i not working very well on me. I still love the start and heart, but the drydown is a bit smoky and sour on my skin.
Aldehydes, plums and honeyed amber. It reminds me powerfully of the scents popular in the 1980s. It's nice, but this in not my type of scent. Heavy 80s style orientals wear me, not the other way around
A very strong perfume, I got it as a birthday present in my early 20s.
It gave me a headaque. so I never used it that much.
hi, j, (suffering disociative personality disorder as i do, you know me by another name - 4gooddogz etc.) i bought this after reading your comment, tho' it's great when there's a consensus of opinion, like here.
i adore chypres. it's amazing that a perfume type with a very basic defining feature can be done so differently.
and this one is spectacular. the top notes suggested a gentle floral, but in a garden w/bee hives (lovely) and gently fertilized with horse manure. i love that smell. ok, each to her/his/its own. mostly the floral thing.
but florals in general make me glad i discovered perfume very recently, and i would have died of boredom before jacque coty came along.
unlike almost every perfume, the flowers are still blooming. but the drydown has been well on for about 45 mins. it's the lightest chypre i've ever met, but it is, w/out any doubt, a chypre.
usually you get the flowers before or after the sex. this is indeed sexy. maybe it will get raunchy, and i don't get sex on a stick at all.
but i do get crumpled sheets, and that intimate scent that crumpled the sheets in the first place. it's just that he ran out naked into the garden just as i dozed off about 15 minutes ago, and now he's back with some lovely, gentle frangranced flowers that he tried to arrange but ended up bundling up in a damp paper towel bound w/an elastic band he which he found in the miscellaneous drawer - you know,the one jam packed w/odds and ends that never shuts all the way.
it's sex with romance. and he's definitely going to call back. if he sends flowers, thank God he will intuitively send anything but roses, bless his heart.
i can't wait to meet him, but, on the other hand, i don't think he can live up to my la nuit fantasy.
SEN-BLOODY-SATIONAL. i'm going to ebay right now to pick up 3.4 oz for $107, so i can make decants for my fr... me.
j, i can send you some if you're out. you've been great. so i'll only charge a quick thank you.
what a great perfume. anyone who wants a 20 ml decant, just let me know. there won't be many, because i've been known to go through an oz or 2 of a new fave in one day, what with respray alone, and then mixing experiments.
i just love this stuff. once again, something on my top 5 list just got bounced. don't you love it when that happens?
I paid 12 bucks for a sealed unopened box of this stuff. Skanky, but good.
I HAD to have this, scent unsmelt, after having read a heated discussion about it on Luca Turin's old blog site where someone, probably Luca, described the scent as being reminiscent of mare sweat. It certainly is evocative of something very animal and pheromonal. It is wonderful, but use with caution.
Finally I managed to get few drops of this gorgeous fragrance! This is as fantastic as the very first time I tried this. I was a teenager when this was launched, and my best friend got this as a gift, I can still remember where we were when I tried this the very first time.
For years I've been looking for this.
( Wonder why they don't relaunch these fragrances people know allready...I quess that you could use eventually less money for the marketing also..)
This felt almost too strong at first, but at the same time I couldn't get enough of this. Animalic and leathery knockout, with a light honey in the beginning. This is a truly captivating Perfume, rich, and deep, and very very Sexy.
Dropdead gorgeous.
This really is a shame it's no longer made. Blatant, brilliant sex on a stick.
I'll get this notes on this to you ASAP-it's my all-time FAVE. Also, around the same time, PR created Tenere for men-I swear it's the same base, just with a little tweaking of the heart notes. It's very good.

Preview: America by the Numbers
Video duration: 1:19Expires: 09/21/17
How changing demographics are reshaping the political landscape of America. Clarkston, GA is a small town of 7,500 that has gone from being 90% white in the 1980s to less than 14% white today. In the shadow of Stone Mountain, once a gathering place for Ku Klux Klan cross burnings, today it is home to thousands of refugees from Vietnam, Somalia, Iraq and Bhutan and some 40 other countries.
