Belle de Nuit

I truly adore this scent and like to wear it a lot. It is so fresh, green, pastel (melange of light) colour floral, dewy and feminine. This is the scent I wear a lot at work, because it is a very pleasant, innocent (not in a single way childish) perfume, BUT, it is unique enough to turn heads and be astonishing wearing this. It is pleasant to smell, and although it is not a powerhouse (moderate sillage), it isn't another flower bouquet slammed in your face. It does hold up to 6-9 hours on my skin (dryer skin type that is). The similarity to J'Adore would not be mine to make (J'Adore smells more like yellow/golden flowers), but if I had to appoint a cousin, I would say Dior Miss Dior, and maybe a flowery flanker even more. It is the same vibe they're on (fresh watery flowers). So I do get the relation to the House Dior, which has a approach on florals. Easy to wear, day and night. Especially at night, when it reminds me of early spring evenings. The air getting a little chilly when the sun is down after a sunny day and the air smells like the flowers that did bloom that day. Must be the scent bees fall in love with. So I do get the name (I like to believe). As it opens, it gently let's all the flowers have a say (can't really tell them apart) and throughout the hour, other notes softly emerge. What baffled me a little was that this perfume, has rose in it, but gives the rose a more.. backing role in this. Which is a little odd for a perfume made in Grasse France. It's so well blended in, and gives the rose a whole new role to play and it suits. So for people who are not that fond of roses, do not worry and take a whiff yourself. Another thing, Belle de Nuit is not sweet. Not sugary sweet. The only sweetness is has are from the ingredients itself, and precisely that makes her more of an adolescent then a teenager. With that said, it would fit any age still. And all this, is what makes an extraordinary scent. I will get another bottle.

A beautiful young at heart fragrance that brings the fun back in floral. Belle de Nuit starts off fresh, not quite citrusy but tangy. The main theme for me plays out in a harmony of ylang-ylang, jasmine/rose and musk. The overall impression is clean, almost soapy but very, very invigorating and soft simultaneously. Despite the name referencing a night blooming flower, I cannot help but feel the warmth of the sun whenever I wear this perfume. Another reviewer said it smells Disney princess like and that is correct, you can feel like a fairy tale character wearing it. An easy love for floral-curious people, it has it all - freshness, warmth and longevity. I think I've reached peak Fragonard obsession with a big golden bottle of the EDT, despite île d'amour still being my favourite from their line.

As I sit having a sniff of a few fragrances that I let sit in the back of my cabinet, I pulled this one out. It’s such a beautiful floral almost tropical without the coconut. Tropical floral. I love it and I really hope this doesn’t disappear so soon. I sniffing this on my arm and find it to work well with my chemistry. I am a gardenia lover so of course I love it. It’s a true gardenia, the ylang ylang rounds it out making it a bit more yellow floral in the dry down. Sillage is good and I love the way it smells on me when I move. I am glad I have this in my collection. Highly recommended 10/10 Just perfect for springtime.

So beautiful... very similar to J’adore but better! Has less of vintage feel than J’adore does, ie anyone of any age could wear this and it would be lovely. To me it smells a lot smoother and more wearable than J’adore, when can on occasion feel a bit harsh (although I still really like it!). It is clean and a touch soapy, floral and a touch musky. A bit laundry like but overall such a gentle smell. Very Disney princess like! This is why Princess Aurora would smell of for sure! So beautiful and definitely worth adding to your collection if you like feminine, soft, elegant, smooth fragrance.

It's name really suits it. A warm and seductive scent. I get equal amounts of rose, musk and plum. Not too sweet or heavy. The geranium adds just the right amount of kick to lift the scent. I get the violet after a short while. The dry down is about musk, a touch of ylang and violet. A very pretty scent for evening wear as a bit too much for daywear. It's an evening scent for a lady. That doesn't mean it has an old lady smell. There is a refinement. I guess it's that uniquely French Je nais c'est quoi. I get moderate longevity and sillage.
