By the editors · 2 min readNight Scented Stock opens not with flowers but with a kitchen fire — clove and cinnamon, immediate and dark, with a faint smoky-wood quality before any petal arrives. The 1976 origin shows in the bluntness of that gesture.
The heart is where the title gets explained: ylang-ylang and lily over heliotrope, violet, and jasmine, the heliotrope giving an almost pastry-warm, almond-vanilla undertone that pulls the white flowers toward dusk. This is night-blooming flora done as oriental rather than as ozonic — heavy, lightly indolic, voluptuous.
The base is enormous and old-school: tonka, benzoin, vanilla, sandalwood, vetiver, patchouli, and musk, all settling onto skin in the pile. Eight or more hours of presence, projection strong for the first three. Pre-modern in the best way; not a daytime fragrance.
