Olympic Orchids Artisan Perfumes Night Flyer is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Ellen Covey. Night Flyer opens with Mango and Banana, settles into a heart of Pebbles, Earthy, Frankincense, and Fig, and dries down to a base of Musk, Resins, Leather, and Sandalwood. Olympic Orchids Artisan Perfumes's Night Flyer carries an Acquired verdict, a fruity-led wear.

Prepare for a polarised experience. Night Flyer is a divisive masterpiece of olfactory artistry, described as everything from a damp cave with rotting fruit to pure comfort. Don't expect to smell 'nice' to everyone, but those who 'get' it will be utterly captivated.

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:
Summer Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Also Works:
Casual

Its potent, unique character and strong sillage make it unsuitable for formal or office settings. However, it can work casually for those who wear it for themselves, and perhaps for a niche, unconventional date, despite its challenging profile.

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

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

Earthy and tropical, Night Flyer plunges you into a humid cave. It opens with the rich decay of sweet fruits like fig and banana, mingled with the wet mineral tang of subterranean rock. As it settles, frankincense and vetiver emerge, grounding the fruit in a damp, soil-like embrace, while hints of leather and musk add a subtle, animalic depth, evoking a living, breathing natural environment.
