Nights on the Left Bank of the Seine: “Cedrus de Nuit” by Chloé

Chloé is launching “Cedrus de Nuit”, a new unisex fragrance in which the spicy-sweet aroma of the “Queen of the Night” meets dark vanilla and benzoin.

Chloé Atelier des Fleurs, from the Fleurs de Nuit collection, is inspired by the nights on the left bank of the Seine, where creative vitality meets Parisian audacity. The fragrance paints a sensual floral portrait with lush and alluring notes.

“Cedrus de Nuit” is part of the “Fleurs de Nuit” line within the “Atelier des Fleurs” collection. The line is inspired by the nights on the left bank of the Seine and highlights flowers whose scent unfolds most fully after dark.

A nocturnal reinterpretation of “Cedrus”

For “Cedrus de Nuit,” Quentin Bisch and Louise Turner reinterpreted the fragrance “Cedrus (Eau de Parfum)” and placed the “Queen of the Night” at the heart of the composition. The flower of the epiphytic cactus species Selenicereus grandiflorus (the “Queen of the Night”) opens for only a few hours after dark and exudes an intense, honey-like, and spicy scent. The goal of this new creation was to capture this aroma—accompanied by dark vanilla and benzoin resin, which lend warm, woody-resinous nuances to the floral facets.

The bottle for “Cedrus de Nuit” also draws on this inspiration. Evoking a midnight sky, the fluted glass—a signature feature of the collection—shines in a deep cobalt blue.

About Chloé

The fashion label Chloé was founded in Paris in 1952 by the Egyptian-French designer Gaby Aghion. With her wearable, softly flowing designs, she was one of the pioneers of luxury ready-to-wear fashion, offering a lighter alternative to the haute couture that dominated the scene at the time.

Perfume has also been part of the house's history since the 1970s: The first Chloé fragrance was developed in 1974 under the artistic direction of Karl Lagerfeld and launched the following year.

“Cedrus de Nuit” is available in 50- and 150-ml bottles.
