Luxe Night captures the bright citrus opening and woody-floral heart of New York Nights quite competently, though the jasmine in the original is notably softer here, replaced with more violet. The base performs adequately with similar longevity, though the cedar substitution for vetiver gives it a slightly drier, less refined finish compared to Bond No.9's smoother decay.
The heart note composition differs slightly with violet substituting jasmine, creating a marginally sweeter profile. Longevity and sillage are comparable, though the original's base has greater sophistication and complexity.

βDefinitely unisex, pretty similar to original, would say itβs blind buy safe. Look, I love the scent profile but the performance is not the greatest. Thatβs my only complaint. Overall, very nice.β
βIt is unique in my opinion. Never smelled anything like it. First spray was a buttery alcohol mess. Awful. Few months on its starting to morph into itself. Youthful floral caramel scent that hints at banana like cakes or desserts/sweets/candies. Night out scent obviously and probably great in winter. Unisex and probably a wide age range. To me it's youthful, to others it might be geriatric. Far drydown is friendly and pleasant. 6/10 on 6 months.β
βI barely get any caramel (and I love caramel btw). My nose picks this up as extremely dark/oudy with some sweetness and a banana tinge to it (people sometimes get a banana tinge with the OG apparently). Winter nights only, given how dark this is. Unisex, masculine leaning simply because of how dark it is. Very underwhelming. Not pleasant. I wouldn't consider this a gourmand at all. I've had my bottle for like 6-9 months now, so it's not a maturation issue. Might just be my nose.β
