Guerlain Vol De Nuit is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2021, created by Jacques Guerlain. Vol De Nuit opens with Bergamot, Petitgrain, and Galbanum, settles into a heart of Spicy Notes, Jasmine, and Narcissus, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Amber, Patchouli, and Iris. Guerlain's Vol De Nuit carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

Vol De Nuit EDT is a divisive, ethereal beauty - some find it a sublime, sophisticated classic; others, a ghostly whisper or an outright vintage misstep. It’s an acquired taste that demands more from the wearer than just a quick sniff.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall
Also Works:
Winter

Built for the cooler edges of the year - autumn and spring pair best.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Its intimate sillage and soft, elegant profile make it suitable for office and casual wear, though its vintage character might not appeal to everyone for a date. The delicate performance means it sits close to the skin, preventing it from overwhelming formal occasions but making it unsuitable for sport.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

It begins with a sharp, verdant burst of galbanum and bergamot, green like an overgrown forest floor after rain, touched with petitgrain's crispness. The heart unfurls into a delicate, powdery bouquet of iris, jasmine, and narcissus, underscored by subtle spices. As it settles, woody notes and earthy patchouli emerge, softened by a whisper of amber and vanilla, akin to a warm, clean embrace.
