Guerlain Vol de Nuit Extract is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 1933, created by Jacques Guerlain. Vol de Nuit Extract 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 Extract carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

This perfume is a divisive masterpiece - not for everyone, but those who 'get' it are utterly enchanted. It's an abstract, moody, and deeply moving experience that demands an emotional investment. Definitely one to sample before committing to the hefty price tag.

About

Vol de Nuit Extract opens with a bracing, almost metallic greenness from galbanum, swiftly transitioning to a complex floral heart. Narcissus adds a subtly spicy, vibrant yellow floral facet, while violet and rose introduce a powdery depth. The composition evolves into a balsamic, earthy blend, ethereal yet grounded, with a comforting powderiness and whispers of soft woods, creating a luminous, evocative aura.
