The story behind the bottle.
Jean Jacques crafted Nocturnes (2023) for Caron, a house known for its enduring and beloved fragrances since 1904. This floral aldehyde composition opens with a bright, fresh spicy note that contrasts beautifully with the rich, earthy undertones of white florals and rose. The aldehydic touch adds an unexpected crispness to the heart, making it feel both modern and lasting. Nocturnes captures the essence of Caron's legacy while pushing the boundaries of classic floral perfumery.
One or two sprays will suffice as Nocturnes has a strong projection and builds beautifully over time. The aldehydic top notes fade within the first hour, so it's best to apply when you're ready to enjoy its full depth.
