A Fearless Ode to the Night
Description
Guerlain Vol de Nuit is one of the most audacious and mysterious fragrances ever created. Launched in 1933 and named after Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's legendary novel "Night Flight," this oriental floral fragrance is a tribute to the courage and romanticism of early aviation — a scent of mystery, daring and timeless elegance.
It opens on a crisp, assertive note of galbanum, before revealing a rich floral heart of daffodil, violet, carnation, jasmine and rose. The base is profoundly warm and enigmatic: amber, iris, oakmoss and vanilla weave together into an absolutely inimitable oriental trail. Part of Guerlain's Les Légendaires collection, presented in the iconic Art Nouveau "inverted heart" bottle.
