Description
African Night is a dynamic and anti-stress perfume for the daytime.
It is not a fragrance for evening relaxation, but the right perfume for action and work, that acts against stress in the very moments and situations in which we accumulate it.
It is a perfume for a woman of youthful spirit who will wear it more for herself than for others. In the working place, it will help her assert her feminine nature without being provocative because a woman who wears it will emanate an image of dynamism and positiveness.
I developed this composition around a blend of relaxing and anti-stress essences (Rosewood, Ylang-ylang, Rose) The very feminine flowery notes of rose and ylang-ylang were softly bound with the rosewood and finally vitalized with the citrus energy of the grapefruit.
What at the beginning seems like a fresh and pretenseless fragrance, reveals, with the passing of time, all its sophistication in a secret heart of intense feminine vibrations where all elements unite in a single tone fixed with the rare and noble Hibiscus Abelmoschus, the vegetal white musk.
The African nights are filled with music and fruity aromas, with life, dancing, and joyfulness, either in the villages of the bush or in the modern cities. The perfumer, an old-time traveler, has felt his youth re-emerge in this perfume.

Aria Takii –
Funny story, years ago when I had first started on exploring smells I had once purchased something that purported to be the essential oil of ylang-ylang and it was a horrible rubbery sickening sweet overripe banana scent. For awhile after that I had been apprehensive every time I saw “ylang ylang” listed in any description… Examples like this African Night showed me how wrong I was to be misled! As well as offering a good reminder of how truly important ingredient quality is to a fragrance.
The ylang-ylang here is beautiful, transparently diffusive and accompanied by a cooling sensation, perhaps like a night breeze. While I had learned since that not all ylang-ylang smells what I had first encountered, African Night may be the first fragrance to truly win me over to how lovely the flower smells in center stage.
For a floral, this is an introverted floral; not loud or assertive, but with a simple sophistication, calming and subtly grounding. The rosewood and rose provide a wonderful tender and subtle center to the ylang-ylang. To me this is a great scent for reading, and settling into work that requires focus and deliberation—with enough breathing room for a deep inhale and sniff every so often, of course.
Some comparisons come to mind with Lake Flower, which I also enjoyed and thought was lovely, but African Night speaks more to my personal preferences. This is one I am considering a bottle of on my next order.
