Dans la Nuit is a classic, vintage-style floral with a soft, powdery aldehyde top note that evokes a timeless elegance. The opening bursts with fresh aldehydes, citrus, and green notes, quickly giving way to a creamy, romantic heart of lily-of-the-valley, violet, jasmine, rose, and carnation—rich yet delicate. Long-acting and subtle, it dries down into a warm, slightly animalic base of vanilla, tonka bean, sandalwood, and civet, creating a luxurious, intimate impression. The scent feels both retro and timeless, reminiscent of old Hollywood glamour and 1920s art deco sophistication. While not overtly spicy or woody, its complexity arises through the interplay of floral sweetness, faint metallic shimmer (from aldehydes and iris), and a velvety musk that lingers with quiet elegance. Its sillage is moderate, not loud, and it’s best worn in warmer months or evening settings, where its creamy sweetness and soft animalic warmth come into full bloom.
