About
Vol de Nuit by Guerlain is a Woody fragrance for women. Vol de Nuit was launched in 1933. The nose behind this fragrance is Jacques Guerlain. Top notes are Galbanum, Narcissus, Bergamot, Orange Blossom, Lemon, Orange and Mandarin Orange; middle notes are Iris, Narcissus, Aldehydes, Vanilla, Violet, Indonesian Carnation, Rose and Jasmine; base notes are Oakmoss, Orris Root, Sandalwood, Spices and Musk. Vol de Nuit or ‘night-flying’ was created in 1933. It was named after Antoine Saint Exupery\'s second novel \'Night Flight\', a fragrant story of love and romance of the first years of aviation. The dark amber colored bottle has a relief of a moving aircraft propeller. The composition is based on balance between the woodsy and cold notes, as nothing else could more staunchly impress the depth of the dark skies and feeling of ascending. The top notes are bergamot, galbanum and petit grain; the heart reveals jasmine, daffodil and spices; the base combines earthy woods, iris, vanilla, amber and woodsy notes. Vol de Nuit was created by Jacques Guerlain.
