Launched by the House of Guerlain in 1933, Vol de Nuit ("Night Flight") derives its name from the famous 1931 novel by Antoine de Saint-Exupery, which captures the excitement of early aviator explorers. The fragrance is a vibrant homage to this moving love story of a pilot and his wife, and to women who are adventurous, daring and passionate about life. The design of the bottle and gold name-plate represent the moving propellar of a plane. This spirit of adventure is expressed in this complex and discriminating scent of citrus, jonquil and iris.
