I was recently in Dubai’s airport, asked the D&G representative about this, they told me it was discontinued and not coming back ! Fortunately I got a 100ml for around 80$ a few months back. This is on my top date night fragrances for sure .. worth it but not at the insane prices people are asking for right now.
You got a great deal on yours! Yea I believe D&G wanted more control with the fragrance brands which I salute but also lead to some changes to the brand.
Love this one good luck to anyone trying to get a bottle now. Its discontinued & extremely difficult to find as it was only ever a limited release in the middle east
I stalked my favorites list on the Canadian site for over a year for this beauty but it finally paid off on the same day for this and Royal Night a couple of years ago so I bought them both immediately and both for, while not cheap, well, well below what both go for these days in the secondary market. Between the two this one is the most different from the core DNA of the EDT - a great flanker which ironically enough strikes me as built more like a modern scent that might be released these days by a niche brand looking to make a mass-appealing scent 😁
I really like this line. I got all the runners. This one is my favorite, followed by the original the night of the king. excellent description of the fragrance. Thanks Marc
Herault fanboy here this was a brilliant breakdown. It's just one of those fragrances where the stars aligned quite literally, smells a lot better than similar things in this genre. The inflated prices though, it's a Shiseido juice and shortly after D&G cancels their contract with them. So discontinued and a perfect storm for getting harder to find as time progresses.
@@robes08 i liked how you explained the 'Luminous' aspect via the notes & artistic intent, it's clearly what he was going for. when people enjoy this i try to push them to another Herault creation 'Cuir Impertinent' which you spoke about in the past. amber dominant but it also has a nice contrast between the syrupy aspects & a fresher, almost mentholated feel. for me it's like a better, more niche/grown-up take on this scent profile.
Cheers Marc, not sniffed this one , hav e the red bottle mysterious night and the edt and edp of the One , I wanna say my favorite is the OG edt it’s simple the best in its genre, appreciate the review and have a wonderful weekend sir ✌️🙏👍
I have The One Luminous Night. Im a big fan of dare notes, and this fragrance is like a big, fat, rich, dense, sweet date plopped into a bed of liquid amber.
Nice review, mate! I got mine for 100$ and it is my favourite from the "exclusive the One" line. It is quite good and interesting scent profile, performance is also superb on my skin. If you are a fan of the line it is a must have, but if its pricing is 150$ and above, i will think again.
I was looking forward to this one, thanks Marc. Lucky me for finding a tester bottle for 80€ last year. This stuff is great and in my book it belongs to hall of fame designer scent category together. Personally I find it a bit similar to mid and drydown stages of Amouage Enclave. It’s also a sweeter minty amber, but with Amouage that mint note is nuclear :)
I haven't and I don't own any samples or anything from the brand. I know of the brand and I've always been curious to sniff them. Perhaps 2024 is time to sniff them.
There is something very awesome in the background of the scent. Like this powdery smoky rubber smell, which is awesome. However that high pitched fruity sweetness gives me a headache and makes the scent unbearable for me.
Well there are 1.5k views and 195 likes so I guess it worked out 😂 I have yet to try this as getting a decant has been difficult here. I've tried the mysterious night tho. Hopefully I can try this sooner cause that date note has me really intrigued and the review has only made me want to chase after that decant faster 👍
I bought Tester bottle for $80 2 years ago. I got it and was really nice for designer fragrance. Immediately bought 2 backpack bottles $100 each. Its not anywhere to be found.
Robes nothing to do with this fragrance but try & review creed pure white cologne if you can. I never see reviewers talk about it & it's definitely one of the best creeds
I keep seeing that, I would say the same family but Initio does not have this dates note, all this green in the background that this one has. I actually prefer this blend to the Initio.
D & G can sit and spin! Finally put out something the people here, in North America want and not give us a chance to buy it. I don’t even want it anymore. Sour ass grapes!!
Well described! This one was my fav from the line for the longest time. But lately, I acquired a 2009 bottle of the original by complete happenstance and somehow I'm starting to dig it. Suddenly I'm getting nuances I never got before? 😵💫 'Tis the rollercoaster of preference I suppose. 🎢 WwwweeeEEEEEEeeeeEEEEEE! 😂

I love it and the ONE Mysterious night is good as well. Rose oud amber
both excellent!

In regards to searching discontinued scents, all I know is you never say never. You'll have to pay tho lol

Great snags and yes quite expensive only because of how rare it is to find on the market.
I have all 3 and they are all really good but this one is my favorite.
Agreed, they are all solid!
I really like this line. I got all the runners. This one is my favorite, followed by the original the night of the king. excellent description of the fragrance. Thanks Marc
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try it and have a blessed day
Thank you! You too!
You welcome keep up the good work and thank you very much GOD BLESS 🙏
Nailed this review! You are right on. Well done!
Thank you kindly!
I own this fragrance it's phenomenal. It garners many compliments. I gate keep it. It's that good to my nose. Robes08 peace to you good brother.👊
Thank you so much for the comment, enjoy it in good health my friend!

That's right they wanted more control with the fragrance brand. I should of said that in the video, oh well, I'll hit it up when I unbox mine.

e the red bottle mysterious night and the edt and edp of the One , I wanna say my favorite is the OG edt it’s simple the best in its genre, appreciate the review and have a wonderful weekend sir ✌️🙏👍
Right back atcha Bren!
It sounds like a wonderful scent and hearing that the date is front and center makes it even better. I wish it was easier to get a hold of
I know... shame
I have The One Luminous Night. Im a big fan of dare notes, and this fragrance is like a big, fat, rich, dense, sweet date plopped into a bed of liquid amber.
You described it better than I did.
You need all three Middle Eastern releases - Luminous Night, Mysterious Night, and Royal Night. I love them all!
Same, they are all excellent.
Nice review, mate!
I got mine for 100$ and it is my favourite from the "exclusive the One" line. It is quite good and interesting scent profile, performance is also superb on my skin.
If you are a fan of the line it is a must have, but if its pricing is 150$ and above, i will think again.
I think you got it at a great price, I don't think you'll ever see it at that price again. I think 150-160 would be my cap as well for this one.

Great snag and price!
This one is good and Lumière Garcon from French Avenue (its dupe) is even better 👍🏻
Thanks for sharing!
I have the red one from this collection, smells good, nothing extraordinary to me, I don't think I will try this one. Thanks for the Samplin' Marc!!!
You are so welcome!
I paid $60 for this so I’m not mad. It was a bundle of all three middle eastern releases for $180.
Great price, people pay that price for one of them.
Would you compare this to the fragrance world clone?
Sorry I don't do clones.
And a fragrance thats essentially a hybrid of D&G The One Luminous Night and Mysterious Night is Xerjoff More Than Words.
Interesting take, I finally have my bottle of More than Words so I can compare. Thanks!
Mark,how you doing bro? I haven't heard you talk about the Spirit of duba...I have i turath from this house..
Turath is on my full bottle to-buy list.
I haven't and I don't own any samples or anything from the brand. I know of the brand and I've always been curious to sniff them. Perhaps 2024 is time to sniff them.

I hate to see that, but not all scents are made for everyone.

Go get em! Just don't be too tempted and pay scary money. It's a really good designer, but that's all.
I bought Tester bottle for $80 2 years ago. I got it and was really nice for designer fragrance. Immediately bought 2 backpack bottles $100 each. Its not anywhere to be found.
Great price and well worth it. 👌
This is one I miss buying 😂😂 can't win them all
Ah you missed a great one! But like you said can't have them all
You can't win em all, but you sure can try! lol
It reminds me of a fruitier version of Halloween man x
Waa? 😂😂 no absolutely not
Robes nothing to do with this fragrance but try & review creed pure white cologne if you can. I never see reviewers talk about it & it's definitely one of the best creeds
I do have a sample of it somewhere in my sample chest, I'll see if I can find it.
Similar to Initio side effect
I keep seeing that, I would say the same family but Initio does not have this dates note, all this green in the background that this one has. I actually prefer this blend to the Initio.
D & G can sit and spin! Finally put out something the people here, in North America want and not give us a chance to buy it. I don’t even want it anymore. Sour ass grapes!!
Sometimes I get a vics vapor rub vibe
Mentholated mint.
kinda dissapointed i passed this over now lol
it happens, you'll get the next one lol
I really didn't like this one, smells like how i imagine a mosque smells during Ramadan with the dates 😳
interesting concept, you know what? You should start a reviewing channel with that imagery!!
Picked up this masterpiece for $120. No regrets 🫡
Solid price. Basically retail but with how hard it is to find you won.
A refreshing break from rap beef … a pallet cleanser
😅

lol you almost made me spit my coffee out this morning. lol
