The dark amber colored bottle has a relief of a moving aircraft propeller. The composition is based on balance between the woodsy and cold notes, as nothing else could more staunchly impress the depth of the dark skies and feeling of ascending. The top notes are bergamot, galbanum and petit grain; the heart reveals jasmine, daffodil and spices; the base combines earthy woods, iris, vanilla, amber and woodsy notes. Vol de Nuit was created by Jacques Guerlain.

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.
