A La Nuit (for women)
Designer: Serge Lutens Olfactive Group: Oriental FloralA La Nuit is one of the better fragrances with jasmine in the centre of the composition, and by all means it deserves attention of those who love jasmine scent. Inspiration for this fragrance Serge Lutens brought from Egypt. Several variances of jasmine are combined in the composition: Indian, Egyptian and Moroccan. The jasmine blend is accompanied by green branches, honey, clove, benzoin, and musk. The composition starts with intensive jasmine notes, warmed and deepened by benzoin in the base. The base notes are surprising here because they are greener and lighter than the central notes, and thus they emphasize the spring-time floral character of this fragrance. The perfume was created by Christopher Sheldrake in 2000.
A La Nuit was launched in 2000.

To me this is all jasmine with just a hint of honey and a minimal musk note in the dry down. I can't detect benzoin or grenadine. This seems like a pure floral to me. Where does the Oriental come in? It is a lovely jasmine but for the high price of Lutens, I expected a little more depth than this.

Hi Coco76, definitely you should feel the benzoin in this one. I cannot detect any lily-of-the-valley in it, so you may try it again from a different source as it does look like you have the wrong sample.

after reading the reviews for this fragrance and checking out the notes, i eagerly ordered a sample....boy am i disappointed! in fact, i wonder if i even have the right sample! all this smells like to me (from start to finish) is lily of the valley. strange, no? i cannot smell any jasmine, and certainly no benzoin. has this happened to anyone else? did i get sent the wrong sample?!

It does smell like jasmine and lilies blooming at night. A little overpowering if you like soft perfumes, however very feminine.

Sex in a bottle for me, but in a romantic way. It's a purely sensual, creamy, intimate jasmine -not sharp or unpleasant in any way.
Can be smothering if you put too much on though....

i love jasmine, particularly egyptian, and i am delighted with this fragrance. the various jasmines emphasize each other beautifully in this fragrance. the greenish sambac revives the tame egyptian jasmine. it is so sensual and light, really feminine and appealing. another favourite of mine. :)

Pure oriental jasmine, weightless and delicate, very gourmand for me, I like the vine character of this flower in it.
