Naomi Goodsir Nuit de Bakélite is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Isabelle Doyen. Nuit de Bakélite opens with Angelica, Violet Leaf, Galbanum, and Tomato Leaf, settles into a heart of Carrot Seeds, Fruity Notes, Iris, and Tuberose, and dries down to a base of Leather, Guaiac Wood, Tobacco, and Labdanum. Naomi Goodsir's Nuit de Bakélite carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

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.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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 - 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.

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.

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 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.
