In-Depth Summary
Jacques Guerlain introduced Vol de Nuit — French for “Night Flight” — in 1933, taking its name from Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s novel about pilots in aviation’s early years. The composition turns the novel’s shadowed world of courage and uncertainty into scent: cool citrus and galbanum lead into jonquil, orris, vanilla, spices, oakmoss, and sandalwood, creating a fragrance that is both austere and atmospheric.
