Product description

Vol de Nuit is part of Guerlain's Patrimoine Collection. A collection made of emblematic fragrances, composed for more than a century by 5 generations of Perfumers. These mythical pioneer perfumes compose a unique olfactive library, that the Maison Guerlain endeavours to preserve. A plane takes off from Paris for Buenos Aires. Suddenly, the radio loses contact. A tornado rushes through. Every second takes the recently married pilot a little farther from his loved one... A homage to Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, whose celebrated novel exalted courage, Vol de Nuit is a perfume of mystery. Brimming with audacity, it is one of the most sophisticated faceted creations. With its assertive personality, its floral and woody facets blossom in a bold oriental trail. Designed by Raymond Guerlain, its iconic “inverted heart” bottle is underscored with graceful scrolls typical of Art Nouveau. Its avant-garde stopper, in the form of a hollowed heart, evokes the delicate romanticism of this perfumery masterpiece and represented a real technical feat at the time.
