Our Impression of Nuit Noor by Elie Saab

To express the contrast that gives Nuit Noor its name, Francis Kurkdjian revisits an iconic. Oriental accord of rose and woods, creating two complementary notes to translate light and the night. In Nuit Noor, light is embodied by a tender, honeyed bouquet, where a soft, creamy Rose blooms voluptuously… To enhance its radiance, the perfumer blends it with a particularly refined essence of Ylang-ylang from Madagascar, whose narcotic scent suffuses the fragrance with a solar aura. To conjure the night, Francis Kurkdjian has blended a dark accord of spicy woody notes that runs through the composition. Sizzling Black Pepper adds vibrancy to the sensuous facets of the Rose and Ylang-ylang. In turn, it lights up the Incense, whose mysterious tendrils of smoke rise against a majestic, velvety backdrop of Indonesian Patchouli.
