The Story

Veilleur de Nuit by Serge Lutens was launched in 2016 and is a collaboration between perfumers Christopher Sheldrake and Serge Lutens. This Oriental Floral fragrance opens with rich, warm chocolate and cacao notes that create an indulgent and comforting base. The heart of the composition features tuberose, adding a sweet floral touch that contrasts beautifully against the musky and animalic undertones. Veilleur de Nuit is a complex blend that balances the richness of its chocolate elements with the depth of its woody and spicy notes.

Application Tips

Apply this fragrance with two sprays to the pulse points — it blooms slowly over time. The musky base notes develop gradually, so give it at least an hour before assessing its full impact. It's best worn during cooler evenings when its warmth can be fully appreciated.
