Tova Nights was a staple of mine for about 10 years when it was owned by Tova Borgnine, wife of actor Ernest Borgnine. I have never received so many compliments from both men and women as when I wore this fragrance (as well as the Tova fragrance in the clear bottle). It won a FiFi award in 1998.
The perfume was sold to another company and became a shadow of its former self. Fragrance companies must think we are idiots to not notice a change in our favorite fragrance. Obviously this was a fabulous scent that would continue to sell, else they would not have purchased it. So what did they do? They kept the name and replaced the scent with a water down, barely recognizable scent. To tell the truth, there is no scent! I’d prefer a Bath and Body works spray to this. Foolish company to think that we would spend money on just a name without caring about what is actually inside the bottle!!
Save your money on this poor concoction. Try and hunt down a vintage bottle if you can, you won’t regret it.

This is a review for the vintage EDP
I am surprised that this scent doesn’t get more “hype” but perhaps that’s a good thing. I really seem to miss out on many of the fantastic “sleepers”.
Like many vintages, the initial opening must be ignored (if you decide to spray it). I tried it both ways, and once I realized the cap can be unscrewed, I decanted some into a dauber bottle I had cleaned out a while ago. I prefer the dauber method, for certain – much gentler in the opening, plus, the marriage of the sandalwood, violet, iris, jasmine and lilac is more pronounced (at least to my nose) when applied by dauber.
I have read in several places that it is rumored that this was created from all natural materials – I do not know whether this is true, or based in any fact, but I could believe it based solely upon the quality.
As far as silage and longevity, it performs better as a spray, but as a dauber, it makes for a very beautiful skin scent. Now, as I am testing this in winter, I do wonder what warmer weather may do to “open up” some of the notes. I’ll update once I learn.

I have several vintage, partial bottles so that I will hopefully have it with me for a long time. The only thing I can add to the reviews loving this is do NOT wear this in hot, hot temps!!! It is a powerhouse and the chemistry changes so much when you walk out of cool AC into infernal temps of summer. It REEKS and it will not die down any time soon. Showering doesn’t help, nothing works but staying away from human population until it has ran its course. Not something you want to get stuck with for a potential date or killing those around you with no out to rid yourself of its toxicity lol

The vintage Tova Nights lasts so very much longer on the skin. I have a new reformulated one and it fades in about an hour. I would never buy it again . I still have a drop of the original as well as one half bottle of Tova….I am hoarding for special occasions.

I had to buy the reformulated version of this as I couldn’t find the original anywhere.
How on EARTH this can be classified as an EDP is beyond me….the smell literally evaporates in minutes. And I mean a few minutes. A faintly chemical (but not unpleasant) whiff and it disappears on me.
So disappointing as I’ve heard great things about the original.

I have the original and use it sparingly. Love it more than the signature. Shame IFRA got it’s grubby hands on it. Haven’t tried the reformulated. It’s probably a skeleton of itself too. Oh well. The beat goes on…and the beat goes on….

Love, love, LOVE this fragrance! I was visiting in Germany one year and someone walked by me and instantly caught my attention. It was the best smelling perfume I had smelled on anyone…..ever. I had to ask what it was and she said Tova. Unfortunately I did not know it was Tova NIGHTS. I went through a couple of bad blind buys before I found the right one. I’m stockpiling! It’s just delicious………

I could just lay in a bathtub of this stuff! It is so wonderful! I bought the discovery set earlier this month(2014) and have really enjoyed all of the perfumes from this set. The Tova Nights stands out. It is delicious!

I got ‘Nights’ at a great bargain price in a set of 3 x 50mls. Result – 2 out of 3 isn’t too bad.
Mind, Body, Spirit is a stinker for me, I wonder if that one has gone off to be honest.
Signature is pleasant.
Tova Nights is GORGEOUS! What a pleasant surprise!
Green, a bit chypreish to my nose, like a lot of stuff I have already, very much my kind of smell. I think if you like Chanel 19, you should give this a try. I’m not sure why ‘Nights’ is the title because it smells like a crisp day perfume to me but never mind!
My only complaint is that it is SO weak.
Sprayed it in the palm of my hand about half an hour ago and it’s practically gone already.
I find it quite perplexing the way the strengths of these three ‘EDP’s are all so different! My least favourite, Mind…, is nuclear….

My bottle is different to the picture but it named nights so I think mine may be the reformulated one. To me it’s a blind buy and I was disappointed by it. I don’t know which part I dislike it, but the whole scent just make me feel sick. It may belong to the powdery note which remind me some old perfume on 80s. I think it’s not for young girls.

Smells sort of like incense when you first spray it on in my opinion.
Not my favourite smell in the world, but still quite nice.

I too had the original fragrance which I adored. It wrapped me in sensual heaven due to the musk and sandalwood. However, on buying a new bottle, I have found that the smell is not the same. It is weaker somehow and the musk/sandalwood notes that I loved are nowhere to be seen (or smelt). A pity. How can you tell the difference between old and new? The only analogy I can give you is like a premier washing up liquid to a very cheap version of it. Cutting costs perhaps?

The Tova Signature Nights Platinum is the closest to the ‘vintage’ or original, pre-QVC buyout of Tova’s brand. Very, very nice! And, not overpowering though “Nights” is in the title.

On me this scent had absolutely no lasting power and disappeared completely. I had problems to even tell what it should smell like. For a Night-Perfume it is disappointing. Other scents from Tova (e.g. Signature Autumn) have more staying power and are more of my likes.

I thought this fragrance was beautiful and soft. It’s no wonder I loved it like I did. It has notes of sandalwood, peony, and lilac (which are two of my favorite flowers). I loved that this fragrance did not carry the ‘chemical’ tone that turns me off of so many perfumes. It was blended beautifully, and no one note stood out or overpowered the rest. I would order more, but have read reviews that the formulation has changed, and many are disappointed in all Tova fragrances lately. I will keep listening though, because this is worth owning again in it’s original formula.
