Fragrance Profile
Vol de Nuit (“Night Flight”) pays homage to Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s tale of courage above the clouds. It opens with galbanum’s emerald flash, as startling as runway lights in drizzle, before the cabin door clicks shut. Soon, narcissus and jasmine unfold—opulent yet resolute—evoking star-strewn skies glimpsed through cockpit glass. As altitude steadies and engines hum, oakmoss drifts into sandalwood and vanilla, merging into an ambery trail that lingers like the whirr of propellers fading into dawn. The result is a perfume suspended between danger and romance, capturing the hush of night skies and the thrill of charting one’s own course.

Perfect for

Midnight soirées, solitary journeys, or reflective moments by a frost-kissed window

Anyone seeking a signature that begins in emerald dusk and lands in a warm, ambery embrace, leaving a trail as unforgettable as a flight into the infinite
