Guerlain Vol de Nuit is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1933, created by Jacques Guerlain. Vol de Nuit opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Orange, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Iris, and Violet, and dries down to a base of Spicy, Musk, Sandalwood, and Oakmoss. Guerlain's Vol de Nuit carries a Favourite verdict, a powdery-led wear.

Vol de Nuit is Guerlain's most cerebral classic. It's a complex, melancholic beauty and a true experience, though the modern EDT's whisper-soft presence means you'll spend more time chasing the scent than wearing it.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:

Also Works:
Spring Winter

An autumn-weather scent at heart - warm leaves and shorter days territory.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office

Its sophisticated fougère and powdery iris accords make it ideal for formal settings or a refined date. However, its often-reported soft sillage makes it less suitable for casual or high-energy sports contexts, though perfect for an understated office presence if you reapply.

About

It begins with a sharp, green galbanum and bright citrus, quickly settling into a plush, powdery iris and violet heart. Aldehydes add a crisp, effervescent lift, while a base of deep, earthy oakmoss, warm sandalwood, and subtle spices creates a mysterious, lingering aura. It's an abstract blend that conjures images of cool night skies and elegant introspection.
