The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2013 by Guerlain and crafted by perfumer Thierry Wasser, Vol de Nuit 80 Anniversaire is a woody fragrance that pays homage to the brand's rich heritage. The composition begins with fresh green notes of galbanum and citruses before giving way to a heart of delicate florals like violet, carnation, rose, narcissus, and jasmine. This floral bouquet is then grounded by earthy accords of moss, orris, musk, and sandalwood, creating an intricate balance between freshness and warmth.
Vol de Nuit 80 Anniversaire captures the essence of Guerlain's commitment to using luxurious materials and innovative techniques, a tradition that has made it one of the most revered perfume houses in the world.
This fragrance blooms best with a moderate application. Allow it to settle for about 15 minutes before the full depth of its notes emerges. It's particularly suited for cooler evenings when its warm woody base can envelop you in comfort.
