   |  My very favorite of all. Elegant, warm, and dignified, Vol de Nuit is just a little bit intimidating in an aspirational (rather than discouraging) way. The sort of perfume that says, "I am." 03 January 2009 |

| Very old fashioned chypre. Greenish, slightly mildewy, must be the galbanum—and powdery, in the way associated with sweet little old ladies. Very dated, and not in a nice way. On the other hand, my sister can wear it without the overwhelming powdery gagging mildew, so perhaps it is all down to chemistry after all. As far as my chemistry is concerned, Vol de Nuit and me are not friends. 12 October 2008 |

| I love so many Guerlain scents (Mitsouko, L Heure Bleue, Shalimar) but this one is the exact smell of a grandmother going out for dinner (died black hair, high heels, and red lipstick) I had forgotten all about the smell until I smelled this scent. It took me back to my childhood and a room full of great aunts. For the trip back in time I am thankful but I can't imagine who would want to smell like this. Usually I love scents that have stood the test of time. But this was not one of them. 07 August 2008 |
 | Begins with a warm and complex guerlinade waft but then in fairly short order it all goes terribly flat and thin and then something horrible happens; the return of Old Lady vintage 1933. Some fragrances simply do not last the distance despite my attempts to believe in them. Try it and ask someone who isn't a perfume addict what they think...you will get an almost universal thumbs down. 19 October 2007 |
 | I bought this fragrance following the rave reviews from this site and feel quite inadequate, as I must be missing something. Yuck.I am 46 years old and feel like an old lady wearing this. It makes me feel as if I should be knitting and drinking cocoa.IMHO, this is just too powdery and sickly sweet for anyone other than some sweet 90 yr old granny. My colleagues have told me they will pay me to get rid of this one as it makes them feel unwell. I have half of a 100 ml bottle left so if anyone wants to pay P&P they can have this for free. 09 May 2007 |
 | Burning plastic. Absolutely horrific. 03 March 2007 |

| Based on "Lefay's" comments, my sense of smell must be immature because this fragrance reeks of old lady. I purchased this product based on comments seen on this site, and regretted it the moment I took off the cap. I like bold, sexy, sophisticated fragrances, but Le Vol goes far beyond this bar and reaches a level of overpowering stench I didn't think possible. This perfume is fit only for the very old who are equipped with with a very poor sense of smell. 05 October 2006 |
