A La Nuit
feminine
Created by Christopher Sheldrake
A La Nuit by Serge Lutens is a Oriental Floral fragrance for women and men. A La Nuit was launched in 2000. The nose behind this fragrance is Christopher Sheldrake. A La Nuit is one of the better fragrances with jasmine in the centre of the composition, and by all means it deserves attention of those who love jasmine scent. Inspiration for this fragrance Serge Lutens brought from Egypt. Several variances of jasmine are combined in the composition: Indian, Egyptian and Moroccan. The jasmine blend is accompanied by green branches, honey, clove, benzoin, and musk. The composition starts with intensive jasmine notes, warmed and deepened by benzoin in the base. The base notes are surprising here because they are greener and lighter than the central notes, and thus they emphasize the spring-time floral character of this fragrance. The perfume was created by Christopher Sheldrake in 2000.
