Launched in 1981 by Caron, Nocturnes de Caron is a floral aldehyde fragrance for women crafted by perfumer Gerard Lefort. This composition opens with the crisp freshness of aldehydes and citrus notes like neroli and orange, before transitioning into a heart of white florals such as tuberose and jasmine. The base layers of vetyver, sandalwood, and musk create a warm, enveloping finish that feels both modern and lasting. Nocturnes de Caron captures the essence of French elegance with its delicate balance between freshness and richness.
