Nuit de Bakélite

by Isabelle Doyen

Naomi Goodsir Nuit de Bakélite is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Isabelle Doyen. The fragrance opens with Violet Leaf, Tomato Leaf, Angelica, and Galbanum, settles into a heart of Orris, Ylang-Ylang, Tuberose, and Carrot Seeds, and dries down to a base of Labdanum, Leather, Guaiac Wood, and Artemisia.

Our verdict on Nuit de Bakélite: Acquired

Nuit de Bakélite is a divisive, powerhouse green floral. You'll either adore its eccentric, almost nuclear intensity, or you'll be actively repelled by its audacious take on tuberose. Definitely not a blind buy.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall
Also Works:
Winter

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Formal
Also Works:
Date

Its nuclear performance and room-filling sillage make it completely inappropriate for most office settings. While it could work for an evening date or formal event for those wanting to make a statement, its sheer strength means it's best reserved for casual wear where its unique character can breathe.

About

It opens with a sharp, almost jarring burst of green, dominated by fresh violet and tomato leaf, underscored by the bitter, aromatic tang of galbanum and angelica. This aggressive greenery gradually softens into a creamy yet still vibrant tuberose heart, touched by earthy orris and a hint of fruity sweetness and spicy cardamom. The base emerges with a cool, almost plasticky leather, guaiac wood, and the dry facets of styrax and tobacco, creating a complex and utterly unique drydown.
