The Night Veils collection returns – renewed, refined, and reimagined. Conceived for the hours when perception sharpens and facades dissolve, each fragrance explores the intimate transformation that takes place in the absence of light.
Composed with rare raw materials and high fragrance concentrations, each scent reveals the self beyond expectation – instinctive, unguarded, and free. In the stillness of night, identity is stripped to its essence. Perfume becomes a mirror. First introduced in 2015, the Night Veils’ transformative power now resonates across five extraits de parfum – including Bois Obscur, a new creation joining the four reimagined icons, Rouge Chaotique, Casablanca Lily, Vanille Antique and Cuir Sellier, in this new collection.
Photographer Zhong Lin captures the collection’s primal essence through surreal, light-drenched imagery. Her lens reveals the raw, unfiltered self that emerges in the dark, embodied by Guinevere Van Seenus. In parallel, Romain Lenancker’s still-life compositions bend shadow and reflection to expose the flacon’s most intimate facets – sharp, sculptural, and quietly intense.
The redesigned fragrance bottle elevates the ritual of perfume. Sculpted from solid glass, its elongated silhouette reflects the elegance within. An antique gold cap – tinted to echo each fragrance name – crowns the bottle, revealing a dual-toned silver and gold atomizer beneath.
Bois Obscur
A slow-burning revelation, Bois Obscur mirrors the quiet intensity that emerges only after nightfall. Saffron and eucalyptus lead inward to smoky papyrus and the narcotic pull of tuberose and jasmine. At the heart lies an oud accord, deepened by mineral amber, patchouli, labdanum, and sandalwood – an unfolding of identity, layer by layer.
Rouge Chaotique
A celebration of sensual contradiction, Rouge Chaotique opens with radiant citrus and spice before yielding to indulgent plum, praline, and the textured richness of upcycled oak. Smoky papyrus and warm patchoud ground the fragrance in something primal and instinctive – chaotic yet composed.
Cuir Sellier
Cuir Sellier evokes the intensity of well-worn leather – timeless and quietly powerful. Notes of cashmeran and black tea open with warmth, giving way to tobacco leaf and dense leather. Birchwood and oakmoss create a lingering trail of shadow and texture.
Vanille Antique
Crafted around perfumery’s rarest ingredient, Vanille Antique explores the dimensionality of the vanilla pod. Freesia and plum introduce lightness, followed by amber and cashmere wood. The base – resinous vanilla and cistus – draws out its depth, sensuality, and enduring allure.
Casablanca Lily
An homage to a flower that blooms by night, Casablanca Lily is a celebration of sensuality and transformation. Gardenia and plum open the scent, while carnation and tuberose slowly unfurl. Rosewood and honey ground the composition in warmth, creating a floral that unfolds in the dark.
Night Veils captures the silent transformation of nightfall – a collection that distills identity to its most elemental form, where the self emerges unguarded, refined, and true.
