bdk Parfums · 2016

La Nuit des Temps

7.5

Camille Leguay · 2023

Sweet · Gourmand · Spicy

Camille Leguay La Nuit des Temps is built on pink pepper, frankincense and vanilla, a sweet, spicy and smoky unisex scent. The top note, pink pepper, brings a light, warm spice. At the heart, frankincense comes forward and adds a resinous, smoky air. In the base, vanilla takes over, sweetening the scent and turning it creamy and gourmand. From start to finish the sweetness and the smoke balance each other: it is neither fully edible nor a dry incense. It suits anyone who likes warm, calm scents where resin and vanilla sit together. Akro Glow and Hekate Albulaan have a close profile.
