Nuit de Megeve
by EIGHT & BOB
Nuit de Megeve is a refined, aromatic vetiver fragrance with a deep, woody core enhanced by coffee, tonka bean, and subtle tobacco notes. It opens with a crisp blend of grapefruit, petitgrain, and clove, lending a bright yet earthy freshness. Over time, the coffee and orris create a soft, creamy warmth, while the vetiver anchors the scent with its clean, slightly green character. The drydown unfolds into a musky, powdery depth with a faint smoky note—reminiscent of vanilla-sweetened pipe tobacco—adding sophistication and mystery. The scent balances elegance and restraint, evoking a dark, cloistered library or a cozy mountain cabin, gradually revealing layered depth without overwhelming. While not drastically bold in sillage, it lingers with moderate presence, making it a quiet yet memorable choice. Performance is moderate—long enough to last through a full day and into evening—but users report it wears close and fades relatively quickly, especially in warm weather. It unfolds subtly and linearly, for those who enjoy the journey of a scent rather than a dramatic shift. The fragrance is unisex in intent, though leans masculine on most skin types, with a character that feels mature, grounded, and discreetly sensual.
