Floral · Fruity · Sweet
Jean-Louis Scherrer Nuits Indiennes is a feminine fragrance that carries the brightness of bergamot and mandarin orange into a floral heart of violet, jasmine and rose, then down to a sweet, woody base of patchouli, vanilla and sandalwood; it has been discontinued.
Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind. It is chosen mostly for evenings and nights out, and it reads as feminine and classic.
It opens with bergamot, mandarin orange, lemon and ylang-ylang, a bright, fruity start. In the heart, violet, jasmine and rose add a floral, powdery softness. In the base, patchouli, vanilla and sandalwood close it with a sweet, spicy, oriental warmth.
