I need to add a second review because this is a completely different fragrance. Below I state that I had a 2 hour wait to get something I liked, and that I prefered a 'darker' scent.
No such comments for the vintage. This turned lovely; absolutely jaw dropping lovely, at the 30 min mark. Gone are the annoying airy wisps and the ushering in of a too strong white floral acord.
Vintage wears as a luscious, ylang ylang led oriental chypre. It is much oilier than the newer version, and hte mousse de saxe drydown lasts well over 12 hours.
What happened with this? What I tried last night was one of the best parfums I"ve tried...EVER. I'm going to request another modern parfum from a different source to see what my thoughts are. Perhaps my old version was exposed to oxygen or something.

trees lined side by side riding in a open horse drawn carrige to an elegant
southern plantation full of white magnolias or going to a ketucky Derby wearing your finest.
The opening has a aldehydic note next
is the scent of bergamot and at it's base is rose gives it a powdery texture
unlike chanel no 5 caron's nuit de noel
avoids the clinical amount of Aldehydes
and sharp citruses and adds a warm amber note that is inviting.
this is perfect also winter and christmas eve parties.

I'm beginning to think Caron is the cat of all fragrance houses. You can put it on, give it a scritch, even tell it you've missed it since you last wore it; and it still won't play nice until it's good and ready.
This has one of the longest wait times I've seen to turn pleasant- two hours! Yes, i spent two whole hours thinking i found a Caron stinker. But nope, after it's cat nap it sent a little jasmine purr my way, playfully wrapped in that Caron base that I've come to love.
I find it hard to believe that the florals are the top notes, because I can't detect them at all until well into the middle act. But when they appear, ooh, what a gorgeous scent. If you like soft jasmine and ylang ylang this is a good one to try. This is not my favorite Caron, as I like darker, more 'rounded' scents (like Or et Noir), but an appreciated fragrance, certainly.

A dark murky, slightly alkaline period ensues, with flowers--above all ylang ylang--peeking out here and there amidst the musky fog.
In the drydown, the mustiness becomes dustiness, as though the moisture of the moss has all evaporated away, leaving behind the remnants of a dried floral arrangement. Or perhaps dried roses pressed in books as keepsakes. I like this drydown, soft, powdery, rose-laden and nostalgic.
NUIT DE NOEL is not a boring fragrance at all, nor is it like anything thing else that I've tried! I would have to agree with another reviewer, however, that this is a chypre floral. And the Christmas Eve reference altogether eludes me...
