Tendre est la Nuit - Obscur Parfum

Soft, aromatic, and animalic, Tendre est la Nuit evokes a cozy and sweet atmosphere that may result in indolence and languor. Majda Bekkali, “wanted to tell what may be the opposite of the noisy and turbulent world where we live...but when we extract ourselves from the noisy world, some danger lurks around and reason falters, the animality emerges.” An homage to Zelda Fitzgerald (wife of F. Scott) who not only hid in the shadows of her husband, but also in her own cocoon of madness, Tendre Est La Nuit is a scent that references darkness' magnetic appeal and the sweet idleness of a wandering mind.

Created with perfumer Delphine Thierry, the top notes of immortelle flower and ambrette resemble the intoxication of Gewürztraminer wine; herbaceous davana and bright pepper notes serve as a lovely contrast to the mahogany, incense, and animalic notes that make an impression of danger that lurks around in the shadows of the night.
