By Night

By Night by Christina Aguilera

Released in 2009 and crafted by perfumer Jerome Epinette, Christina Aguilera By Night was designed to capture a specific moment — that anticipatory hour before a romantic evening, when a woman slips into her best dress and decides exactly what kind of night she wants. The fragrance became a cult favorite for its warm vanilla-amber sensuality, sweet enough to feel indulgent without ever becoming overwhelming.

Our interpretation captures the same seductive evening signature at €39 for a full 50ml of long-lasting Eau de Parfum.

Bottle size: 50ml
Concentration: Eau de Parfum (up to 40% perfume oil)

How It Smells

The opening is unexpectedly sophisticated for a celebrity fragrance — tangerine and red apple lifted with the soft floral lift of freesia and a subtle whisper of almond. It’s playful without being childish, fruity without being cloying.

The heart blooms into a creamy heliotrope and pineapple accord, surprisingly elegant and slightly powdery. But it’s the dry-down where By Night earns its name: warm ambergris and rich vanilla settle into a base that lingers on skin and clothing for hours, with just enough sandalwood and oak moss to keep it from being purely gourmand. Sensual, warm, and unmistakably evening.

How Our Version Compares to the Original

We don’t claim this is identical — no dupe ever truly is. What we’ve built is a faithful interpretation of By Night’s warm gourmand-floral signature: the same fruity-almond opening, the same creamy floral heart, the same warm vanilla-amber base. Where Christina Aguilera’s original retails for around €40–€60, ours offers the same scent character with up to 40% perfume oil concentration — typically 7 to 9 hours on skin, significantly outperforming many similar designer fragrances on wear time.

Who It’s For

By Night is unmistakably feminine and built for evening. Autumn and winter especially shine, when the warm vanilla-amber base really comes through against cold air. Date nights, dinners, evening events. Reads as seductive without trying, sweet without being sickly. The kind of fragrance you spray when you want to feel confident and a little dangerous.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Christina Aguilera By Night still in production?

Yes — By Night remains in production and is sold at retailers including The Perfume Shop and Debenhams. However, availability has become spottier at some retailers, with fans noting it’s sometimes harder to find than other Christina Aguilera releases.

Is By Night a sweet fragrance?

It’s warm and slightly sweet rather than overly gourmand. The fruity opening (apple, tangerine) and creamy heart give it sweetness, but the ambergris-vanilla-sandalwood base keeps it sophisticated rather than candy-like.

How long does this fragrance last on the skin?

Typically 7 to 9 hours on skin, longer on clothing. The Eau de Parfum format with up to 40% perfume oil delivers strong longevity, which is one of the most-praised qualities of the original.

When is the best time to wear By Night?

Evening, autumn and winter especially. Date nights, dinners, theater, anywhere you want a warm, sensual presence. Wearable year-round for evening occasions.
