The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2013 by L'Artisan Parfumeur, Amour Nocturne is a Woody Floral Musk fragrance created by perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour. This scent opens with a lactonic and smoky accord that evokes the intimate warmth of a cozy evening, before giving way to caramel and sweet florals. The heart is balanced by aromatic notes that cut through the sweetness, leading into a powdery woody base that lingers softly on the skin.
Amour Nocturne is best applied close to skin, as its powdery and woody notes are most evocative when worn intimately. A single spritz on each wrist or neck allows the lactonic and smoky top notes to bloom into a rich, warm embrace.
