Who Wears It
The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2000, A La Nuit by Serge Lutens is an Oriental Floral fragrance created by Christopher Sheldrake. The composition opens with light green and sweet notes that give way to a heart of white floral and honey, creating a warm and enveloping atmosphere. This fragrance balances the brightness of its top notes with the richness of its base, making it both fresh and comforting.
Apply A La Nuit sparingly — its top notes are delicate and fleeting. Focus on pulse points for a longer-lasting experience, allowing the rich base notes to develop over time.
