Serge Lutens Rose de Nuit is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1993, created by Gilles Romey. Rose de Nuit opens with Rose and Jasmine, settles into a heart of Beeswax and Apricot, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Sandalwood. Serge Lutens's Rose de Nuit carries an Acquired verdict, a rose-led wear.

This isn't your grandma's rose. Serge Lutens Rose de Nuit is a divisive, darkly captivating beast. Prepare for a rich, animalic rose that some find morbidly beautiful, others an off-putting relic. Definitely not a blind buy, but endlessly fascinating.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent best worn in winter and autumn, where the dark rose, beeswax, and animalic musk read rich and enveloping rather than heavy.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its complex, animalic nature and significant projection make it unsuitable for office or casual wear. This fragrance truly shines in intimate date settings or formal evening events where its dark, luxurious character can be fully appreciated.

About

Rose de Nuit opens with a profoundly dark and powdery rose, immediately hinting at something vintage and complex. Beeswax and a subtle apricot add a rich, slightly sweet, almost overripe fruitiness to the heart, while a deep blend of musk, sandalwood, and amber creates an animalic, woody, and resinous base. This isn't a fresh, clean floral; it's a moody, sultry rose that whispers of bygone eras.
