About this fragrance

Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.

La Nuit by Paco Rabanne (1985) is a chypre floral that opens with a bracing blend of artemisia, basil, and tangerine—herbal and citrusy, with a touch of bitterness. The heart reveals a rich, honeyed floralcy: white honey, rose, jasmine, peach, and a dash of pepper, creating a warm and slightly spicy bouquet. As it dries down, the base anchors the composition with civetta, oak moss, leather, patchouli, woodsy notes, and Virginia cedar—animalic, woody, and mossy, with a musky undertone. The main accords—animalic, woody, mossy, musky, fresh spicy, and honey—paint a picture of a bold, complex scent. This is a fragrance for collectors who appreciate vintage chypres with a pronounced animalic character. It suits those who enjoy assertive, sophisticated perfumes, perhaps for evening wear or special occasions. The interplay of fresh top notes and a deep, leathery base makes La Nuit a distinctive and memorable choice.
