a love poem
May rose and violet = pure romance!
A soft pink and white romance, a love poem in fragrance form: that's "Nuit d'Amour"!
To me, it reads a bit girly and dreamy and full of anticipation!
Jean-Paul Guerlain brought here dreams of love in pretty flacons.

Lychee: I remember well eating my first lychees as dessert in a Chinese restaurant in the early seventies; aromatic, not too soft flesh with a big nothing in the middle in pleasant, not too sweet fruit juice. (Aha! So this was a stone fruit!)
By now firmly integrated, I also meet the fine lychee aroma in "Nuit d'Amour", which finds a harmonious partner in the pink pepper.
Thus, the first lines of this fragrant love poem are already white and pink!
A beautiful prelude to the almost forgotten May rose!
Fortunately, it has been remembered and is being grown again around Grasse for perfumers.
Large parts of the original cultivation areas have unfortunately been built on in the meantime; the real estate run with its shark's mouth won out here too.
But they are back! Even if no longer in the former, seemingly endless fields.
(It is to be read that probably also a so-called "rose war" is to have broken out over this flower:
Who grows most successfully; who sells at the best price; who can serve the market - sad, but true!)
The fine "rose of the bride" and the much more robust violet form one of the most classic fragrance communities under the heading: romance!
This dreamy fragrance romance becomes more adult, more erotic through a cleverly dosed droplet of sandalwood oil: the fragrance butterfly unfolds its wings on the way into the adventure of life and love!
Of course, the white musk may not be missing here: warm, lovingly caressing and receptive to the, powdery fragrance clouds generously distributing iris!

Yes, "Nuit d'Amour" is a love poem, framed by pink roses and perky violets, butterflies and hearts, by tulle and bows: the scent of a "May bride"!
A bit weak on the chest; neither busty in durability and sillage, but still delightful!

Jean-Paul Guerlain didn't have to bother with serenades with strings or Mendelssohn's "Wedding March":
With skill and full of love for little things that touch women's hearts, he succeeded here in wrapping dreams in fragrance.
The way to the "Nuit d'Amour" was sprinkled by him with rose petals and lit delicate pink candles!

Who would not like to be here again so young and full of expectation?
By the way, reading love poems still hasn't gone out of fashion!
(Just as little as getting married!)

The night of love was cancelled
I appreciate it very much that humanity in general is kind and nice in dealing with each other, even if the reality often looks unfortunately quite different and sobering. But this should not be an excessive appeal to friendliness and respectful interaction. I actually wanted to tell you something about a fragrance A Guerlain. One of the expensive series. One that doesn't stand around. So this must be a fragrance that is especially great and when you sniff it, it triggers great rapture and delight.
Hmmm, the great delight remained with me unfortunately quite absent.

The fragrance has been given the auspicious name Nuit d'Amour, meaning Night of Love. Under this name I imagine something like the ultimate attractant, which bewitches and bewitches men and gets them all over again and in general So something with crackling eroticism, ardent passion and where the message sent out is of a very clear nature.
"I want you, here and now! I'll take you to the bedchamber, my love!"
Now let us imagine the following scene:

In joyful expectation of the night of nights (today it shall finally happen) she puts on Nuit d'Amour and suddenly a sensual and man-killing vamp turns into a good schoolgirl who can't count to 3 anymore.
It smells of sweet fruits, lychee it should be, but it could also be other berry fruits. Very sweet, very well-behaved, very unagitated and sweet There it becomes lovely flowery, May rose and violet, are not exactly lustful seductresses anyway, but rather graceful and friendly. It becomes powdery and innocently pure, musk (this one very squeaky clean) and iris. And it stays that way, there is no crackling atmosphere, no eroticism, no "I want you now or never"
No, the beloved is surprised that she suddenly seems so cute and harmless to him. And as a result, he has lost all desire for a tender and pleasurable get-together Even the sleeping chamber, which at first seemed to be sensual and vicious, now looks more like a fried fish and unexciting.
He prefers to help himself from the fruit basket instead of throwing himself on his beloved. And she continues to smell sweet and well-behaved, disappointed that nothing happens
I am all the more surprised that Monsieur Guerlain is personally responsible for the night of love. Was he in a bad mood that day? He created such a wonderful perfume. Unfortunately, at Nuit d'Amour, one doesn't notice much of the former outstanding works. But everyone has a bad day at times
The scent is pretty, smells fine, but somehow doesn't really get into or out of the slippers, it stays far behind the automatically occurring expectations. And it doesn't even last very long, after a maximum of 4 hours the good girl has completely withdrawn. And it stays very close from the beginning, you have to get very close to the girl to get some of the sweetness In my opinion, this is a little too little for a fragrance in this price category. You could have thought of something a little more A little wickedness, a little more vamp, a little more darkness and sin would have suited the night of love better. So it just remains a nice delicate scent, which unfortunately can not seduce.
And so I can well understand it, when he turns away from his beloved again and skips the night of love, which they both looked forward to so much, and says goodbye. She, disappointed that nothing at all has stirred, wonders whether she would have been more successful with another attractant.
But in this way everything seemed about as erotic as a flowered frilly bedspread on the bed, which was actually supposed to be the scene of love scenes.

For my feeling the smell is surely not bad, but unfortunately too arbitrary and too cute and well-behaved for me and I am not a bit surprised that no clothes fly into the corner here and nothing is going on here. The night of love has nothing nocturnal about it, but is rather a friendly, gentle morning.

But to all those who love the fragrance, I wish them continued pleasure with Nuit d'Amour. I don't want anyone to feel they've stepped on your feet. But for me the night of the nights was cancelled, because I see something completely different in the fragrance.

Many thanks to Verbena for the sample!

Mainstream Guerlain
Like La Petite Robe Noire, since the first time i smelled Nuit d'Amour i thought that Guerlain should make this one mainstream instead of keeping it at a more selective distribution. Nuit d'Amour is easy to like, a pleasant combination of musky notes,sweet peppers, soft and velvet iris and violet, a creamy and discreet sandalwood note and something very fruity. The first time i wore it, it made me think of Serge Lutens Nuit de Cellophane, but the last time i put it on skin i saw some L'Instant influences, maybe from the pepper and musky parts.

Intimate, unobtrusive, but not necessarily restrained ...
In the German forum one member offered free samples including shipping to ten Parfumo members in exchange for reviews for this beautiful scent. I was among the lucky number and after browsing my translations I find I have only fulfilled that contract for the "other half" of the site so here goes:

This is the fourth member of the series "Les Parisiennes" I had the opportunity of testing and as with most Guerlain scents I am impressed how well-crafted they are while retaining lots of individuality. Nuit d'Amour is a bit quieter than Liu or Mon Precieux Nectar without a lot of surprises in the development. The name might indicate a passionate night, but the perfume doesn't play the lead, it only orchestrates the background ... it is not the smell of an opulent orgy, initially it just hints at a potentially intimate encounter.

It is a spring eve and starts off with a little liqueur, I smell somthing like lychee on the spray head, but not on my skin. Soon enough flowers start sprouting and together with an early whiff of musk make full-nosed promises of a gay night. There is pepper but its character is not stinging but almost woody, bringing out the violet all the better and making it more exciting.

The heart is sweet and heavy as befits a passionate scent, it reminds me of confectionery with nutmeg and cardamom without the stickiness. With that development it solidly leads the way from a business dinner towards an exciting date, but of course such categories are there to be transcended by perfume lovers. This is the heart that I missed in the scent of the day before I wrote this review [Zync Bombshell] despite their similarities otherwise. The scent culminates in an almost rosy impression of white musk. I cannot distinguish the sandalwood, possibly because of the iris.

This increasingly powdery quality forms the base and stays for many hours. Interestingly it also has a sweet honey/beeswax note that reminds me more of a Prada finale than the Guerlinade.

In her German review Sonjoschka muses that the powdery quality of Nuit d'Amour indicates a night of very tame, restrained, intimate passion. I agree partly: while I do not think it is the perfect olfactory representation of a fling picked up at the Disco, I can imagine it portraying lots of passion between lovers who know each other intimately. But then it seems the scent stayed longer on my skin than hers.
