The story behind the bottle.
Paris Nuit de Fête by Yves Saint Laurent was launched in 2007 and captures the essence of a vibrant Parisian night. Perfumer Jacques Cavallier Belletrud crafted this floral fragrance, blending powdery and woody accords with fresh citrus notes. The violet and rose at its heart create an alluring contrast to the bright bergamot top note, while sandalwood, vetiver, and oakmoss provide a grounding base that evokes the intimacy of a city after dark.
Apply this fragrance lightly to let the powdery and woody base notes unfold gradually. The citrus top notes are bright but fleeting, so a light spritz on pulse points will ensure the full complexity is experienced as the night progresses.
