NO. 196 - Nuit De Noir is a Floral Musk fragrance for women, inspired by the delicious darkness and seductive mystery of night. Evoking midnight skies, obsidian waters and jet black velvet.

Intoxicating white florals are wrapped in ethereal shadows, seductive dark amber and musky warmth. It is a sensual floral aroma with a sophisticated modern twist of amber.

Atmospheric, diffusive, refined. Immerse yourself in nocturnal mysteries.

Scent Profile

Moonlight illuminates white Lily of the Valley flowers in the midnight garden, while the dark Roses and Blackcurrants disappear into the shadows, yet the fragrance remains in the cold night air. Citrus notes of Bergamot meld into Plum juice for a restrained embrace.

As the garden disappears into the velvety darkness, the Gardenias and Carnations grow more fragrant as the night deepens. Ghostly Orchids are suspended midair, transparent, intimate and mysterious.

Damp, earthy notes of dark Patchouli sink into aged wood and musky shadows transforming  the pale flowers into something darker and overtly sensual. Warm dustings of Cinnamon and a comforting flourish of Vanilla leave an intimate, skin close trail in their wake.

Choose NO. 196 for its contrasting white and dark floral composition. Perfectly tailored to create a sensual and mysterious nocturnal tone.

Understanding The IFRA Guidelines for Maximum Dilution

Maximum dilution for this fragrance oil depends on the products you are planning on making. It should be noted that maximum dilutions are from a safety aspect only, based on the chemical composition of the oil.

In some cases these are very high, because all components are relatively benign. These amounts are not necessarily recommendations of how much to use in your recipe. They may smell too strong or make the item prohibitively expensive to produce.

As long as you remain below the advised limits, you can be as generous or as frugal as you like. Use more, use less. We’ll leave the creative stuff to you.

Based on the ingredients used, as per the International Fragrance Regulation Authority, the maximum dilutions given above apply.
