by Solstice Scents
Flowers Nocturnal presents a dense, highly floral composition centered around white and night-blooming flowers, with almond, vanilla, and ylang-ylang adding depth. Many users describe it as rich and realistic, capturing the essence of a garden at night—where jasmine, gardenia, tuberose, and moonflower blend in a creamy, slightly sweet, and earthy manner. Some note a surprising bitterness or indolic character that is described as dark, damp, or even graveyard-like; others find it too weak or waif-like. A few report that the scent lingers well and evolves slightly, with vanilla becoming more apparent over time. On the other hand, several users report unpleasant outcomes, with some experiencing a flattened, bloated, or sour floral vibe, as though the notes did not harmonize. The perfume clearly divides users, with some calling it a masterpiece while others find it offensive or unbalanced. It appears best on those who appreciate natural botanical perfumes with an earthy, introspective quality, especially in cooler weather.
