Guerlain VOL DE NUIT Extract

A voyage into the infinite

In the dawn of the aero-spatial era, a plane takes off from Paris for Buenos Aires. Suddenly, the radio loses contact. A tornado rushes through. Every second takes the recently married pilot a little farther from his loved one...
A homage to Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, whose celebrated novel exalted courage, Vol de Nuit is a perfume of mystery. Brimming with audacity, it is one of the most sophisticated faceted creations. With its assertive personality, its floral and woody facets blossom in a bold oriental trail.

The relief of the smoked glass bottle evokes a propeller in motion and represents the drawing of an airplane wing in flight. A symbol of modernism, the square metallic stopper evokes a mechanical part and celebrates the triumph of the conquest of air.
