Nightstand EDP 100ml

She leaves the garden party without a goodbye through an archway of wisteria, tinted violet by dusk’s last light. She luxuriates in time spent alone. Mandarin unpeels on white silk. Private contemplation in the crepuscular hour. A cinematic fragrance reminiscent of the 50s and 60s.  A modern wisteria with vintage appeal.

WINTER COLLECTION
Perdrisât’s Winter collection urges you to imagine a series of characters, each with their own fragrance, and follow them over the course of an evening. Pretty Boy is fresh out of the shower, flowers in his hand, running late to a first date. Last Word is the is the eccentric, worldly socialite in a two-piece suit, regaling a dinner party audience with their latest hypothesis. Whisky is a close-up of a mouth exhaling cigar smoke – sleepless, making deals, hustling. Bully is the leather jacket clad bad boy on a motorcycle taking you home, and Nightstand is making a French exit – she leaves the soiree without goodbye, to take herself home to do her self-care routine.

HOW IT WEARS
A delicate yet moving fragrance, Nightstand opens with a sparkle of pink pepper and a squeeze of mandarin before quickly developing to reveal the heart notes of wisteria and lilac. The lilac is powdery, green and almost waxy; the wisteria more fresh, even spicy or peppery, which is perfectly accented by the liquorice accord. As it wears, it actually gets more crisp, fresh and realistic, like dew drops collecting on the first blooms of spring. Musk provides a plush base for the fragrance, filling in the blanks between the florals and the spices, making for a subtle yet lasting scent.

LORE LOVES
This fragrance is so transportive, you can easily imagine it on the nightstand of a young woman in the 50s or 60s, displayed on a tray alongside a silver hairbrush and a jar of cold cream, set upon an off-white doily. Nightstand is not the fragrance of Marilyn Monroe or Sophia Loren; it’s more Audrey Hepburn or Grace Kelly. Softly sweet, refined and classic without feeling dated, it has an inescapable sense of romance about it that while subtle, still draws you in.
