Isabey Fleur Nocturne ~ new perfume

Posted by Robin on 10 December 2009 25 Comments

Isabey has launched Fleur Nocturne, a modern version of a 1925 Isabey fragrance called Bleu de Chine:

The fragrance, inspired by a world of crystal and amethyst, was entrusted to Jean Jacques who envisioned an exceptionally rich floral bouquet with fruity white flowers. The top note consisting of mandarin, mixed with apricot blossoms and white peach instantly gives you the safe feeling that you are holding in your hands a perfume of exceptional, noble and valuable ingredients. The fragrance then plunges into a heart of jasmine, Gardenia and Magnolia, with a quality which is very rarely found today. The fond leaves a strong wake of extraordinary elegance with a sunny chord of vanilla and patchouli.

Isabey Fleur Nocturne is available at First in Fragrance in Germany, 129€ for 50 ml Eau de Parfum. (via first-in-fragrance, images via Panouge at Facebook)

    Wow – I don’t know if I’d like the juice or not, but that bottle is stunning. And I’m not a bottle-fiend, either (yet).

    I’m with you, CynthiaW. The juice is iffy but that bottle is too precious. And I *am* a bottle-fiend! Beware of this habit. It makes fragrance purchasing decisions even more complicated!

      lol – I definitely am beware – a good half of my perfume acquisitions are in plain glass atomizers since they’re decants.

    Agree, the bottle is gorgeous…and as that’s the only nice thing I can say, I’ll stop there. :D

    They had me at white peach, apricot blossom, magnolia, gardenia, jasmine, vanilla and patch. *swoon* I soooo want to try this one! It sounds perfectly gorgeous and like something I’d definitely wear.

    Could be interesting, actually. Like the bottle, but the cap looks cheap (as you say, don’t they always?).

    R, I noticed you didn’t have any info on Isabey on your Houses site; I dug up the following (Google translated page):

    I’d take the bottle and dump the juice out. Oy! Apricot, peach, jasmine, gardenia and magnolia? Not for me.

      Hard to tell if I’ll like it w/o smelling it…could be nice.

      I think the juice could go either way. It was the ad copy I was choking all over. :D

    Mmmmm – I think this sounds nice! And, yes, that bottle! Wow. I tried some MDCI Peche Cardinale and definitely picked up some peach and liked it, so I’m not scared.

      Peach is not always a bad thing — Mitsouko, for instance.

      Will be surprised if it doesn’t get here, since Isabey Gardenia does have US distribution.

    I love blue as a colour in fragrance marketing. You don’t see it too often … the old Eau de Givenchy … Rive Gauche …

      Me too! I wish they had not repackaged the Eau de Givenchy.

    Hello
    I have a question

    Is Isabey Fleur Nocturne a warm or cool perfume?
