This really smells like a typical Hermes fragrance. A grapefruit citrus opening that smells like your typical "eau de cologne" backed by peppery earthy grassy mineral notes. If you've smelled...
The eucalyptus, cedar and benzoin creates a cool, dry fragrance that doesn't have the medicinal qualities usually associated with that combination of notes. A great price, I'm glad YSL keeps...
I have actually done something of a full 180 on this - the first time I smelled it I thought it was absolutely horrid, just a harsh saltwater and little else. I did give it a few more tries, and...
The name Lys Fume is only half correct. The lily is there, the smoke is not. No complaint, though. This is a handsome and well composed floriental. Lily is the centerpiece but other elements...
Oud tends to be the gorilla in the room in a fragrance that uses it as the principle note. Oud being both potent and distinctive, the challenge is how to make an oud-centric perfume fundamentally...
WHAT! I'm already very conflicted about wether I should get this, it's definitly one of my favorite Guerlains but it's so expensive (350$ a bottle) now that their are rumors that it's about to be axed I'm more conflicted than ever!
I just bought some at the Guerlain store on Champs Elysees and am surprised to hear this rumor. I think the SA (who knows I am rarely in Paris) would have mentioned it and encouraged me to stock up.
I am glad you weighed in on this one, Nostalgie, because I presumed you would have heard something direct from the source, yay or nay. It sounds like the answer just may be "nay."

I'll try to pop in and ask about it this week....It is always possible that the SAs are the last to know, but usually a manager has the scoop.
Its true..In Atlanta Vol de Nuit was kept in regular stock in both Neiman Marcus, Saks and Nordstroms. This week I went to all three as I wanted to purchase a bottle and non of them had it. I thought it was strange, but after reading this post I think they have discontinued it.
I asked about this at the Mother Ship (the Guerlain boutique on the Champs-Elysees) today: I was told there is no way Guerlain will discontinue Vol de Nuit. The person i spoke to didn't know anything about distribution though.
Maybe it is just not being carried as much in the States? I think all the department stores are suffering financially. Maybe they are cutting back drastically on the number of scents they will sock.
