Key Notes of Jonquille de Nuit
What Does Jonquille de Nuit Smell Like
Upon the first smell of Jonquille de Nuit by Tom Ford, you're immediately greeted by a crisp, citrusy aroma. This initial scent is courtesy of the bitterness from the orange leaf mingling with the slightly medicinal undertone of the Egyptian violet leaf. The fresh green of the Angelica seed and a faint whisper of Cyclamen add a touch of lightness, giving the fragrance a vibrant and invigorating start.
As the perfume's scent evolves, it leads you into a garden thick with the intoxicating fragrance of Narcissus absolute Orpur®. This dominant floral note delivers a potent yet elegant sweetness, enveloping you in the essence of a serene spring midnight.
As the night carries on, the perfume ushers in a warmer, powdery layer. The mimosa conjures the familiar comfort of spring, while the iris adds a slightly earthy depth. Finally, a subtle hint of amber emerges, its sweet and resinous aroma ties the fragrance together, rounding it off with a gentle sweetness. The transition from top to bottom is smooth, transitioning from fresh and clean to a slightly warmer and comforting finish.
Review of Jonquille de Nuit
Tom Ford's Jonquille de Nuit is a perfume that invites us into an enchanting garden of night blooms. Released in 2012, this unisex scent has a floral heart that's more complex than your typical flower-like aroma, hence it noticeably appeals more to women.
The scent embodies a bouquet of fresh, powdery, and sweet notes that are both delicate and robust, just like the jonquil flowers for which the perfume is named after. It has a gentle freshness that is not overpowering, making it an ideal choice for those who prefer subtler scents.
The longevity of Jonquille de Nuit is noteworthy. It clings to your skin, leaving a trail of mesmerizing scent throughout the day, and into the night, without needing to reapply often. The sillage, while not intense, is pleasant enough to linger in the air just long enough to make an impression.
Though it has a predominantly floral character, the hints of woods and spice lend it an intriguing depth, making it more versatile than one might initially expect. This perfume suits almost all seasons, from the freshness of spring to the warmth of summer, the crispness of fall, and even the chill of winter.
As for occasions, it's a versatile choice. Its understated elegance makes it suitable for daily wear or business meetings, while its enchanting aura makes it perfect for a night out or leisurely evenings.
However, one must consider the value. Though it has many strengths, it might not appeal to everyone's budget. The price point is a bit steep, so it might not be the first choice for those who are cost-conscious. But for those who value quality and sophistication, Jonquille de Nuit by Tom Ford might just be the perfect perfume to invest in.
