Vol de Nuit
EDITORS COMMENTS
- the captivating allure of Guerlain's 1933 oriental chypre fragrance, immortalized in this mesmerizing advertisement print. Inspired by the modern age of aviation, as embodied in the novel of the same name by Antoine de Sainte-Exupery, a dear friend of the renowned perfume house, this enchanting scent transports us back to the 1930s. The etched glass bottle, reminiscent of an aircraft propeller, is a testament to the era's fascination with flight. The intricate design, a perfect blend of Art Deco elegance and aviation innovation, encapsulates the spirit of adventure and freedom that defined the era. Created in 1933, "Vol de Nuit" (Night Flight) was an oriental chypre fragrance, a sophisticated and complex blend of sweet, spicy, and woody notes. Top notes of aldehydes and bergamot gave way to a heart of jasmine, rose, and iris, while the base notes of vanilla, musk, and patchouli created a warm, sensual finish. This exquisite advertisement, dated 1936, invites us to embark on a journey of the senses, transporting us to a bygone era of glamour, innovation, and the allure of the night sky. The intricate details, from the delicate typography to the intricate etchings, evoke a sense of wonder and intrigue, making this a truly timeless piece of perfume history.
