By the editors · 2 min readNuit de Noël opens with a plush, narcotic wave of white flowers—jasmine and ylang-ylang meeting the waxy sweetness of tuberose. There's an immediate warmth here, almost candlelit, that feels intentionally vintage without being dusty. The mimosa adds a peculiar softness, like powder suspended in honey.
As it settles, sandalwood becomes the structural core, creamy and smooth, grounding the florals into something denser and more contemplative. The amber and musk in the base create a musky-golden skin scent that wears close, intimate rather than expansive.
This is not a loud fragrance. It conjures velvet, low lights, December interiors—the kind of scent meant for evenings when extroversion isn't required. It suits someone drawn to vintage femininity but with enough restraint to let the composition speak quietly. A monument from Caron's golden age, still perfectly wearable nearly a century later.
