Ok….on paper, this one smells divine—I blind bought it (it was inexpensive, and for vintage Caron who can argue?). On my skin we had about an hour of HOLY SOAP, BATMAN! Like very heavily expensive soap. But, that is to be expected with an aldehyde-heavy fragrance so I waited it out. I won’t lie, soapy is not my thing. But oh, the drydown was heavenly. The vetiver, sandalwood, and musk softened the soapyness into something so gorgeous that I was really pleased with this blind buy! The tuberose adds some sweetness but it’s not overly floral on my skin. It’s aldehydes/vetiver/woods on me. But I love it.

I am wearing this today for 999 millionth time, and thus felt like it should be reviewed. This was the first perfume I bought for myself, around my 18th birthday, in Galeries Lafayette (a big department store) in Paris.
I have LOVED it since the very first time I sniffed it, I have purchased numerous bottles over the years, and now (thanks to the internet!) have not been without it for at least the last 15 years.
It’s pretty, so so pretty. I am wearing the EDT, in my opinion, one spritz is all I need. The fragrance is very tenacious. The opening notes are bright and sparkly (aldehydes), the middle notes are beautiful, and the drydown is gorgeous. I get a hint of sandalwood, some vanilla and some musk. It is a very gentle and soothing scent for me.
I know not everyone loves this, but for me, it’s perfect.

My review is for the 2013 reformulation that comes in a very modern bottle.
This is the demure, elegant sister of opulent, cheerful and oriental Poison especially in the beginning. Despite the often serious house of Caron and the beautiful name that makes me think of Chopins dark, tumultuous and chaotic composition, Nocturnes opens with a sunny face of sweet citrus and candied, non-indolic notes of jasmin and tuberose on my skin. For a while, I can even imagine that I have Poison on my skin. Still, where Poison preserves its voluptuous and luminescent character throughout, Caron soon settles into its very French vintagey character with its soft aldehydes, rose and citrus. For me, it sits at an interesting balance of powdery vintage with rose and a scrubbed citrus and it is very proper, very ladylike. On some days, it is almost soapy on me, very sober and kind of elegant. On some other days, I sense more vetiver.
A sample of Nocturnes has entered my life coincidentally at a time when I am thinking of getting myself a bottle of my own Poison for the first time in my life. And I think I prefer the happy opulence of Poison to the sober chic of Nocturnes.
Medium sillage and not very impressive lasting power of around 4 hours. 3.5 lippies.

Nocturnes is a charming aldehydic floral with unusual nutty/sherry notes. The aldehydes are soapy and fresh but not particularly dry or sharp, lending a roundness to the composition and making it less exalted than say the extremely effervescent and crisp Chanel No. 5. It’s relaxed and day dreamy in a way. The florals are hard for me to identify individually except for lily of the valley, but they combine into a pretty bouquet that is sweetly prim next to the eccentric notes of nutty sherry. This humorously boozy accord is what sets Nocturnes apart. It does not give the impression of drinking but rather contributes a warm, syrupy, toothsome glow and leads into the richer base notes of vetiver, sandalwood, a touch of vanilla, and perhaps some laundry musk. Overall, Nocturnes has a classic, lady like impression with an amusing twist. If you’re looking for an easy to wear aldehydic floral that has an old fashioned air (even tho it was released in 1981), please try it.

This is the first perfume I fell in love with. It was a random spritz in Bloomingdale’s in the early 80’s. “Just the thing for fall!” said the spritzer. I was young, and I don’t remember how I managed to afford it. Later, I had to give it up for awhile. My son broke and spilled half a bottle on the carpet, and I couldn’t stand it for several years after that. But I always kept the crystal ball stopper, and now I love it again.
It is probably true that Nocturnes is too “pretty” and not at all challenging or edgy. Maybe a little too evocative of Christmas spices? (My perfume vocabulary is lousy, but I especially like this perfume in fall and winter.) But ladylike though it may be, it never gives me a headache. There are so many modern scents that strike me as synthetic, overwrought, and oppressive.
There was an echo of what I liked about Nocturnes in the original Donna Karan Cashmere Mist. But somewhere in Cashmere Mist lurks a quality that is just too intimate or skin-like for me — something that never happens with Nocturnes. It operates on a higher plane.

You know that guy that should be perfect for you on paper, but you can’t really stand to date in the real world? Yeah. Nocturnes is that for me. It’s green, it’s got sillage and tenacity, it’s easy to find, inexpensive comparitively… and yet…no. No thank you, kind sir. I actually bought a bottle, dispensed a bunch of decants to try and get rid of it, and ended up foisting it off on a friend. And viola! A decant made its way back to me, five years later. So I retried it. Still no. Ah well. More space and money for OJ woman, chanel 19, nanadebary green…

If you are fond of aldehydes, this is definitely one that you have to try. Nocturnes starts out bright and citrusy over a soap floral, the aldehydes lend an airiness that tickles your nose. It dries down into something green and a bit dry and woody, yet warm, and keeps the airy aldehylic quality. I only wish the citrusy notes lasted longer. Would make a great professional setting scent, sophisticated, elegant.

I have a large bottle of the vintage splash-on EDT from the ’80s, and it is still fresh and perfect. The Art Deco bottle design with its ground-glass stopper is beautiful, And I used to think the fragrance was, too. It was fresher and lighter than many ’80s offerings, with its soapy aldehydes, languid white florals, and sharp dash of stephanotis. But now, when I try to wear this, I realize how dated it is. It has kind of a sickeningly sweet floralcy that’s long since gone out of fashion– it calls to mind Sung, Lady Stetson, and White Shoulders, none of which I ever liked. I find it surprisingly heavy and cloying, and just can’t seem to pull it off. But I do own that it’s an elegant, classy, well-constructed fragrance that could be beautiful on someone with the right skin chemistry.

This is a review for the new formula: please ignore the first 30 minutes of Nocturnes. It is sharp and bitter. After 30 minutes, it turns into a sweet blend of floral boutique, moderately powdery.
Is it old-fashioned? Perhaps, it feels like a 1950’s vintage dress, very elegant.
Now I am in a mission of finding the old formula.

Nocturnes is a beautiful floral. To me it is too light and subtle to be an evening perfume so I think it is slightly mis-named. But for a beautiful, sophisticated perfume for day I don;t think it can be beat. I’m not very good at describing fragrances but I smell rose and other florals on a base of woods. To me Nocturnes is very sophisticated.
