The Story and Ambience of the Fragrance "Etoile D'une Nuit" 

Because just moments before embracing the night, she took out her powder compact and lightly brushed her face with it. She tied a satin scarf around her neck, her bare skin exuding the scent of makeup. A powdery cloud as elegant as her lipstick, whose soft, creamy, cosmetic scents highlighted her vibrant personality.

Top Notes:

"Étoile d’une Nuit" opens with a lively, sparkling note of Italian bergamot and Italian mandarin, which bring a dynamic, citrusy freshness to the fragrance. Blackberry adds a fruity, sweet touch, gently balancing the citrus notes. 

Heart notes:

At the heart of the composition, elegant floral notes take center stage. Iris brings a powdery softness and a unique character, while rose and jasmine offer floral opulence, evoking femininity and seduction. These heart notes lend depth and sophistication to the fragrance. 

Base notes:

The base notes of “Étoile d’une Nuit” create a warm and sensual foundation. Cashmere wood offers a woody, enveloping dimension, while vanilla adds a sweet, sugary note. Musk lends a lingering sensuality. Together, they create a fragrance that evokes an elegant evening under a starry sky, where femininity, sophistication, and warmth blend harmoniously. 

The Design of the “Étoile d’une Nuit” Bottle 

The subtle gradient starts with transparency and, like a sunset, deepens into a very dark green. Around its neck, an Art Deco-patterned scarf is tied to enhance its femininity. It adorns the bottle’s bare form and adds a touch of sensual color. The texture is as light and velvety as loose powder. Finally, the last touch of femininity—like a piece of jewelry or a pair of earrings—adorns her neck: the medallion bearing the Goutal coat of arms tinkles against the thick glass.
