My order of Celine’s ZouZou just arrived today and came with the sample of Nightclubbing. On me it is such a fresh scent, which was a relief compared to expecting something heavy and Kilian-esque. I definitely get the clean vibe, even a blue note, and maybe a little tabac leaf and leather at the front, but not there 2 hrs later. Zouzou on the other hand, which I purchased after a spray in store, is exactly a mix of Kilian’s Princess and Drybar dry shampoo original scent. Can’t get that out of my head now, though I like those two scents… just feels less valuable 😅.
I think it’s a really beautiful scent, and the bitterness from the Galbanum makes it a treat but I prefer Black Tie to it. Also, I think Iris Malikhan from Maison Crivelli provides the same feeling but that’s much sweeter and louder
this perfume like you said is very interesting. I remember smelling it for the first time. The perfume smells like how I smelled when I walked out of a club around 5am after a night out in a club where people smoked inside. The oris/vanilla perfume that I have sprayed earlier, the sweat anchoring all the dusty, burnt cigarette smoke in the club. What an amazing scent. so picturesque
This is my favorite Celine too! It’s quite a magical concoction. And as someone who abhors the smell of cigarette smoke, this doesn’t offend me at all.
I’ve never actually ever tried any from this house but wanted to. Your review sealed the deal so I grabbed the sample pack and went straight for ‘night clubbing’ First spray I didn’t really like it at all. Two minutes later I came back to it and oh my lord! It’s amazing! Love it. Thanks for drawing my attention to it!
Your last sentences were really moving and they were sooo true! There's only one perfume that i have the same feeling about, which is oud wood from TF. Unfortunately the performance is a joke (should mention that i'm not a beast mode catcher type of guy). It smells like my grandmothers room which had wooden cabinets and windows. It's a fantastic experience. The connection ...
Picked this up in Tokyo for cheaper and it's the most intoxicating scent to me. Incredibly sexy and mysterious. Reminds me of returning to a luxury hotel room after a night out.
Hey Pep!! I got a sample of this when I bought Black Tie a couple of years ago but I’ve hardly used it. I remember I liked it but I’ve tried to not use my Celine samples too much cos of the price and I know I would want the bottle!! I do love these bar/club style scents though, wearing the new Thameen Centre Stage today which is based on a cabaret style bar in London and would say I prefer that to Nightclubbing. Angie
@@TheScentinel Possibly - I’ve loved a lot of Carners perfumes in the past. Not sure if i ever tried that one though. Will have to try Nightclubbing again and dig my sample out. But I’m intending to get Parade from Celine after Christmas as I always loved that one. But I fear my wishlist is too long for other stuff other than Thameen / Pierre Guillaume as over the summer I’ve bought so many bottles of them and just wanting more and more (and the new Lunatique from LI which is so bloody good well worth a sniff)
@@TheScentinel Another good bar / drink style perfume I’m loving at the moment is The Dandy from Penhaligons. That one is so so special. Obsessed with that.
@@TheScentinel Oh it’s damn good. It’s not heavy. It isn’t a loud fragrance. It’s the perfect amount of booze / feeling dressed up / feeling rich but not shoving it down others necks. It’s one to really sit with and enjoy. Every time I’ve worn my sample I’ve felt amazing. Beautiful and then some. Think it came out maybe five or six weeks ago.
Great description. I'm intrigued, I've got to try it. Some of this crazy pricing is what drives the clone houses to be so successful....there has to be a limit to how much some of these companies charge....Yes, I know, I'm talking sacrilege here :)
Hi Pep 👋🏻. I’m bringing you some exciting news. I just read on Fragrantica that MFK is relaunching Absolue Pour le Soir. I’m quite sure I remember you saying that you quite liked this fragrance. Absolue Pour le Matin is being brought back as well. Anxious to smell these again in 2025. 🎉
Nightclubbing is such a beauty!
It's the only full bottle of Celine I have.
Other favorites from the house are Reptile and Black Tie. 🥰

Got my bottle in Bangkok which is cheaper. Absolutely amazing scent, i get a kinda tobacco smoky thing as well, sooooo good

@@jennyyang2257 it's great, right?
This is my kind of nightclubbing! 🤓 Great review for such a fascinating fragrance. Love.

This review is absolutely on point and beautifully articulated!!! Great video ❤
@TooSwole01 that's very kind, thank you.
Great review and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try it and have a blessed day
At last, the review I have been waiting for.🎉

@saturdayers ooh I like that description
Definitely want to try this now. Love the description.
Hope you can sample it
Great description! I have a 5 ml mini and would consider a full bottle. I also love Black Tie (my favorite) and ZouZou.
@@Scents4em I'm keen to try Zou Zou now
Sounds exactly like those real life experiences. Can’t wait to try this!
@@Betmas2 hope you like it

@@PerfumedByTheSea hey Angie, if you do enjoy this particular theme, I wonder if you'd like Sandor 70s from Carner Barcelona.

Sounds really good, Pep! Kinda dirty but also fabulous :D Thanks for leaving your review on Fraghead ❤
@@fragheadapp I love how easy it is to leave the video reviews
Thanks for your past-smoker perspective on the ‘cigarette’ note. It sounds more nostalgic than offensive.
@@loriwht absolutely
I love Céline’s fragrances. Black tie, dans Paris and zouzou are perfection. I have yet to try nightclubbing..
@@mariannalee3207 you should!

@@BABA-ws5eo nah, I'm with you. I'll only ever get what I love and what I can afford. If not, I'll source a decant.

@@lorilynnlodge1808 I am excited and nervous! Can't wait to hear reports back on the scent. Thank you
@@TheScentinel Yes, my sentiments exactly! Hopefully we will all be pleasantly surprised.
Been hearing a lot of positive reviews of this one.
My Celine sample set is on my way! I heard wonderful things about their fragrances but also worrying about loving them all! They are so expensive 😆
@demimiforrest1349 yeah, hopefully you just have one stand-up, and that will hurt the wallet less😁
@@TheScentinel can’t wait 😛
Interesting, might head down to a Celine boutique to have a whiff, any other Celine perfumes you’d recommend a try?
@@chillian12 I liked Black Tie and Reptile as well.
For me the Californie and Zouzou are nice.
While it smells interesting to begin with. On my skin base note gives me a headache. So unfortunately not for me. 😊
@@SD._ that's a shame
I feel to old to go nightclubbing
@@riemen.reimund6166 you can do this perfume from the safety of your lounge room😁
