About
A La Nuit by Serge Lutens is a Oriental Floral fragrance for women and men. A La Nuit was launched in 2000. The nose behind this fragrance is Christopher Sheldrake. The fragrance features Egyptian and Indian Jasmine, Honey, Green Notes, Musk, Benzoin, Grenadine and Cloves. A La Nuit is one of the better fragrances with jasmine in the centre of the composition, and by all means it deserves attention of those who love jasmine scent. Inspiration for this fragrance Serge Lutens brought from Egypt. Several variances of jasmine are combined in the composition: Indian, Egyptian and Moroccan. The jasmine blend is accompanied by green branches, honey, clove, benzoin, and musk. The composition starts with intensive jasmine notes, warmed and deepened by benzoin in the base. The base notes are surprising here because they are greener and lighter than the central notes, and thus they emphasize the spring-time floral character of this fragrance. The perfume was created by Christopher Sheldrake in 2000.

About
Aqua Allegoria Flora Nymphea by Guerlain is a Floral fragrance for women. Aqua Allegoria Flora Nymphea was launched in 2010. The nose behind this fragrance is Thierry Wasser. Top notes are Green Notes and Red Berries; middle notes are Honey, Orange Blossom and Syringa; base notes are Musk and Woody Notes. In order to celebrate the fifth anniversary of the first edition of Guerlain Aqua Allegoria collection, a new fragrant fairy tale by the house of Guerlain was introduced - Aqua Allegoria Flora Nymphea. The fragrance was created in cooperation with perfumer Thierry Wasser and it can be expected on the market during 2010. Guerlain presented over 20 versions of Aqua Allegoria with various themes inspired by citruses, flowers, herbs and spices in the last 10 years. Pleasant, beneficial and optimistic compositions of Aqua Allegoria relax all senses with their olfactive games and nuances. This collection was initialized by Jean-Paul Guerlain with a wish to illustrate poetry of natural notes and raw materials with a vivid watercolor of each composition. The latest edition, Aqua Allegoria Flora Nymphea, is composed of three main ingredients – syringa flower, orange blossom and beneficial honey. Its outer carton is slightly changed when compared to previous versions. This is not all! In honour of the 10th anniversary Guerlain will also present an animated movie which will feature a nymph named Flora Nymphea who will tell the story of flowers and scents led by a bee, symbol of the brand. This movie was filmed in 3D production and it lasts 1 minute. The story of the movie is told by Olivia Ruiz. You will be able to see this movie on the Internet. Guerlain Aqua Allegoria will be available as 125 ml EDT in a redesigned flacon by creator Robert Granai. Its beautiful flacon captures characteristic decorations – honeycomb with a bee on its cap. Advertising campaign for Aqua Allegoria, besides flowers, fruit and herbs, features a feminine character – nymph from a fairy tale, decorated with pale pink floral petals. Face of this fragrance is Ana Selezneva, who became a nymph of Guerlain's Allegoria in photos made by Paolo Roversi. Magic of this fairy-tale will be revealed on website www.aqua-allegoria.com in April 2010.
