Scents of Time Night Star ~ new perfume

Posted by Robin on 10 October 2009 11 Comments

Scents of Time has launched Night Star, a new fragrance inspired by Antoine De Saint Exupéry's The Little Prince. While the prior fragrances in the collection were linked to ancient sources, Night Star is subtitled "fragrance of the future".

Night Star is a celebration of bouquet aromas which has a floral heart consisting of rose blended with violet and Lily of the Valley (Muguet) broadened by citrus and herbal notes whilst simultaneously deepened by an embracing combination of woody notes with a suffusion of powdery vanilla and Mayflower.

Night Star was developed by perfumer Christopher Sheldrake; additional notes include bergamot, lavender, heliotrope, orris, sandalwood and hawthorn.

Scents of Time Night Star is available in 50 ml Eau de Parfum, £45. (via scentsoftime.co.uk)

    well, well, well….Le Petit Prince (sheds a small tear and tiny sniffle) Anything by Sheldrake is sniff worthy, he is my favorite perfumer…sorry Robin, it had to be said (JCE will get over it).
    Not quite sure how these are ‘fragrances of the future’ though…but I guess they have to say something in ad copy. It’d probably be politically incorrect to just have big perfumes ads that read: It’s perfume, go buy it!

      You’ll get a better idea of the “fragrance of the future” if you go read the “product booklet”, but it’s long:

      Wait… Sheldrake is your fave? I thought most of the Lutens stuff didn’t do much for you? I’m gonna have to go look at the list of his creations. I’d be curious to smell this one too.

        Maybe it would have been better to say that Sheldrake is one of my most admired perfumers. Really, if you look at my top 10 favorite fragrances they do come from a variety of perfumers. But when you start to expand that list to not just my Desert Island fragrances but to that amorphous group known only as ‘my favorites’ (which not only ranges 30-50 bottles but changes daily in ranking) Sheldrakes creations pop up with increasing frequency. Plus I’m not only referring to perfumes I love to wear but to perfumes I recognize as being interesting, intriguing and different….that doesn’t mean I’m spraying them all over my person. Does this make any sense?
        anyhow, I have several “favorite” perfumers……ask me tomorrow and I might say Olivia Giacobetti (I’m so fickle) ;-)

      Daisy this response has been a long time coming- sorry!
      As the owner of the scents of tmem range I want to answer your question onwhyow NIGHT STAR is termed a fragrance of the future. If you have time read the booklet on NIGHT STAR on the website http://www.scentsoftime.co.uk- all will be revealed- including the reference to the Little Prince All 5 scentsoftime m fragrances come with a 24-30 page boolet explaining how they were lost, found and re-created from Formulae/stories/findings linked to Pompeii, Cleopatra, Tutankhamen, The Maya of Yucatan and RMS Titanic (Night Star) Hope this helps.
