By the editors · 2 min readCinnamon leads with immediate warmth before jasmine and ylang-ylang open the floral heart. The ylang-ylang reads fruity and slightly creamy, complementing the jasmine's full, heady quality. Orange adds brightness to keep the heart from becoming too heavy.
Vanilla and patchouli close the composition. The patchouli provides earthy depth, the vanilla sweetness — together they create a warm oriental base that extends the floral core into a longer drydown. Rose integrates seamlessly at some stage of the wear.
Merveilles & Nuit is a spiced floral oriental built for evenings. Ylang-ylang and jasmine do most of the heavy lifting, and the cinnamon-patchouli-vanilla base gives the composition its warm, slightly dark character. A familiar template executed with classic proportions.
