Guerlain commits to the bee, sentinel of the environment

The fragrance for a love of risk

Vol de Nuit is part of Guerlain's Patrimoine Collection. A collection made of emblematic fragrances, composed for more than a century by 5 generations of Perfumers. These mythical pioneer perfumes compose a unique olfactive library, that the Maison Guerlain endeavors to preserve.

A plane takes off from Paris for Buenos Aires. Suddenly, the radio loses contact. A tornado rushes through. Every second takes the recently married pilot a little farther from his loved one...
A homage to Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, whose celebrated novel exalted courage, Vol de Nuit is a perfume of mystery. Brimming with audacity, it is one of the most sophisticated faceted creations. With its assertive personality, its floral and woody facets blossom in a bold oriental trail.

Designed by Raymond Guerlain, its iconic “inverted heart” bottle is underscored with graceful scrolls typical of Art Nouveau. Its avant-garde stopper, in the form of a hollowed heart, evokes the delicate romanticism of this perfumery masterpiece and represented a real technical feat at the time.

A legend of love beyond the clouds, flying over green, woody and spicy notes

At the head of the Vol de Nuit fragrance is galbanum with its green note that arrests the senses. At the heart, a cocktail of flowers provides a firework display as daffodil and jasmine reveal their assertively brazen characteristics. Altogether chypre, woody and exotic, the inimitable Vol de Nuit’s bold personality and floral, woody facets bloom into a daring ambery fragrance trail.

SPICES

A surprising and bewitching play on olfactory opposites, warm spices such as black pepper mingle with cold spices such as cardamom and pink berries.

UNDERGROWTH NOTES

Harvested in France, processed into a concrete and then made into an absolute, tree moss absolute brings a woody and earthy note to perfume.

GALBANUM

Grown mainly in Iran, galbanum lends this fragrance a green, resinous note. When combined with bergamot essence and daffodil absolute, it gives Vol de Nuit an enigmatic and daring aspect.

HOUSE SECRETS

Vol de Nuit is one of Guerlain's most surprising and assertive fragrances. It is worn by demanding and very charismatic women. It takes time to tame this enigmatic scent. Nothing works better than spending a night with it to discover its identity.

Its avant-garde stopper, in the form of a hollowed heart, evokes the delicate romanticism of this perfumery masterpiece and represented a real technical feat at the time.
