Nuit de Cellophane
Nuit de Cellophane by Serge Lutens is a feminine-leaning eau de parfum from 2009 in the niche price tier. It opens with mandarin, moves into osmanthus, jasmine, carnation and almond and dries down to sandalwood, musk and honey. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
Heart
- Osmanthus Apricot-and-leather floral. Unusual, warm and very wearable.
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
- Carnation Spicy, clove-like floral. Old-school and a bit peppery.
- Almond Marzipan and cherry-stone. Sweet with a bitter undertone.
Dry-down
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Honey Sweet, waxy and slightly animalic. Can smell dirty in large doses.
