Parfums Caron La Selection Nocturnes is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013, created by Gérard Lefort. La Selection Nocturnes opens with Orange, Neroli, and Rose, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Tuberose, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, and Vetiver. Parfums Caron's La Selection Nocturnes carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

A modern reinterpretation that splits opinions. Some find this a chic, refined floral with a pure, bright aura, while others dismiss it as a pale imitation of the original, with disappointing longevity.

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.

Its moderate sillage and refined floral profile make it suitable for office wear, being present but not overpowering. While it has an elegant quality, some perceive it as a 'boardroom' scent rather than for romantic occasions.

About

La Selection Nocturnes opens with a bright, effervescent burst of orange and neroli, quickly softened by a delicate rose. The heart blossoms into a hyper-feminine bouquet of creamy tuberose, opulent ylang-ylang, and intoxicating jasmine. As it settles, a sophisticated base of soft musk, warm sandalwood, and earthy vetiver emerges, leaving a clean, classic impression.
