The fragrance of NIGHT for Women

NIGHT for Women is a perfume that takes the term “sweet” to a whole new level. This fragrance is a symphony of sweet and seductive notes, perfectly dosed to balance the fine line between beguiling and light. The main note in this perfume is Benzoin Gum, which gives off a warm, sweet and slightly spicy scent. It is the essence of the night captured in this bottle.

Another key player in NIGHT for Women is the Jasmin Sambac Essential Oil. This precious ingredient gives the perfume a floral and sensual note that harmonizes perfectly with the sweetness of Benzoin Gum. It’s as if the petals of jasmine are dancing in the night breeze, and this fragrance is the hint of romance in the air.
