The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2012 by Guerlain, L'Heure de Nuit is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance created by perfumer Thierry Wasser. This composition opens with the crisp freshness of iris and white florals before transitioning into a powdery heart that brings a sense of comfort and warmth. The base notes of vanilla, woody accords, and musk create an enveloping embrace, making L'Heure de Nuit a fragrance that feels both intimate and luxurious.
Apply L'Heure de Nuit with two sprays to the pulse points. The powdery heart notes emerge quickly, while the base of vanilla and musk develops over time. This fragrance is best worn in cooler evenings when its warmth can be fully appreciated.
