Vol de Nuit is highly regarded by the r/fragrance community as a masterpiece with a legendary bottle design and beautiful, mysterious scent. However, its very weak projection and longevity make it impractical for daywear, making it best suited as a personal, intimate fragrance for bedtime or home wear. The fragrance is particularly valued for its historical importance and emotional significance rather than performance metrics.
