The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

La Selection Nocturnes by Caron was launched in 2013 and is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance for women, crafted by perfumer Gerard Lefort. This composition opens with the brightness of neroli and orange, bringing a fresh citrus note that contrasts beautifully with the rich floral heart of rose, tuberose, jasmine, and ylang-ylang. The base notes of sandalwood, musk, and vetiver provide a warm, powdery finish that lingers on the skin long after application.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance to pulse points and let it build naturally. The citrus top notes are bright but fleeting, so the powdery floral base will be the lasting impression. It pairs well with a light jacket for warmth without overpowering.
