Tom Ford Jonquille de Nuit is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Rodrigo Flores-Roux. Jonquille de Nuit opens with Angelica, Cyclamen, Petitgrain, and Violet Leaf, settles into a heart of Narcissus, and dries down to a base of Amber and Iris. Tom Ford's Jonquille de Nuit carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

Tom Ford Jonquille de Nuit is a proper divisive floral. Some find it a masterpiece, a hyper-realistic portrayal of daffodils and narcissus, while others dismiss it as synthetic, soapy, or just too much. It's not for the faint of heart, but those who love it, really love it.

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
Also Works:
Summer Fall

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

This is a strong, heady floral, not ideal for the office. Its intensity and 'de nuit' suggestion make it perfect for dates and evening events, leaning towards a sophisticated formal vibe rather than casual wear. Many reviews mention its lasting power and strong projection, making it unsuitable for sport.

About

It starts with a fresh, green burst of violet leaf and cyclamen, quickly giving way to the star: a heady, moist, and slightly dirty narcissus. Mimosa adds a honeyed sweetness. The dry down settles into a powdery orris and a gentle amber, maintaining a green, hay-like quality throughout. It's a rich, assertive floral that captures the intensity of a spring garden at dusk.
