Dans la Nuit (1924)
by Worth

I have some bottles of both the original formulation (EDT) and the new (parfum). Both are quite lovely initially, but the new version falls flat after just a few minutes.

To me, the vintage Dans la Nuit has a Worth 'signature' that I can also smell in vintage Je Reviens. I can imagine someone wearing Je Reviens by day and then topping up with Dans la Nuit for the evening.

Unlike Je Reviens, Dans la Nuit is not heavy on the aldehydes and salicylates, therefore it is less 'powdery'.

I don't notice the woody or oriental aspects that other reviewers here mention. To me, Dans la Nuit is a sweet, rich floral with its sweetness possibly provided by prominent jasmine and ylang-ylang notes.

In my opinion, two similar modern fragrances are Il Bacio by Borghese and Vivid by Liz Claiborne.

I tried one in a tall blue glass bottle, eau de parfum 80%. I presume a vintage. I absolutely adored the first spicy, jumbled top notes as lisa describes, but on me this rapidly vanished into a very pleasant and dated flowery talc within half an hour of application. I really wanted the first spicy, flowery, woody part to last and last. If it had, I would have rated this as one of my favourite smells.... but it didn't sadly. I would love to create something smelling like these top notes.

Oh I have just gotten a small vintage bottle of this and it is in one word,
bliss.

Sweet and floral but distinctive. Elegant and lyrical.

If you love Je Reviens you will adore Dans la Nuit.

Maybe even more...

(vintage edt) Smells soft, woody & blue, different & delicious. I think I smell rose, violet, & jasmin w/ aldehydes, orris, sandalwood, & touch of musk. Develops nicely. Fuzzy aldehydes & wood opening, fades off to show beautiful & delicate florals.. they have a little sweetness, but the base has a dark coolness that tempers it. A modern scent that approaches it is Jaipur Saphir.. in feel but not end result! That one got a little hi-pitched and soapy to me. I like this much better! There's something about it..
