This one is elusive. I've worn it on and off for months now and I'm not sure I understand it yet. That is the beauty of Carons- they are so multifaceted. All I can say is, this smells original and...

Nocturnes is one of the true understated perfume gems of the 80's. It always reminds me of the early 80's pre-evening accoutrements: jewel-colored silk Ungaro & Flora Kung dresses, 4 inch stiletto...

A sophisticated scent, refreshing and light at first but then settles down into a calming sandalwood - it is something I would wear in the evening on special occasions. My mother first introduced...

Normally perfumes with floral aldehydes don't work for me, but this one is different. I get vetiver (the “green” opening notes?), jasmine (and aldehydes) with some ylang-ylang and sandalwood....

Some twenty or more years ago, when I did some housesitting for my aunt, I came across Nocturnes. Sometimes I would allow myself to sniff on the bottle cap, and I was immediately smitten. As...

It would be hard not to like this. It's 100% feminine and refreshing, and has a delightul youthful sophistication. The sparkling, white floral opening reminds me of 'Chanel#22,' but 'Nocturnes'...

I totally understand why some people would not like this though I think it's MAGICAL. It is heavy on the aldehydes giving it a "perfumey" quality which deems it for nighttime wear IMO. I love it...

This fragrance was recommended for me on the fragrance board based on a description of my personality. I am very disappointed to say that it just does not work for me. What I had hoped would be a...

This gorgeous scent inspires images of softeness and light, hope and possibility. Someone on another board said it's the kind of thing Arwen in the Lord of the Rings would wear, and I totally...

This one was love at first sniff for me. I do believe I could be caught buying a bottle one day. It's super feminine, super floral and absolutely not for a man. The aldehydes are rampantly and...

Nocturnes is a powdery light sandalwoody oriental. Reminds me of a very faint version of Escada Collection or CK Euphoria. Many sandalwoods just don't work on me. There may be a touch of jasmine...

This is a review for the parfum. Classy French perfumery done really well. I think the only thing that bothers me about this fragrance is the way the aldehydes and the orange blossom overtake the...

Updated review 4/22/06: It has taken me almost a year to learn to love Nocturnes. At first I thought it was too soapy and green. Now the greenness and soapiness are very appealing to me. Last...

This fragrance is the epitome of my romantic expectations of fine French perfume. It was my first real perfume (in parfum form); given to me as a gift when I was a teenager in the 1980s. Its...

Although the name suggests it to be a night-invoking perfume, I find it extremely summer-like and full of light. It starts off with a citrus splash of bergamot and tangerine, backed up with a...

A very nice floral -vanilla scent. Very different from anything else out there, as most Carons are. Top notes: bergamot, mandarin and lily of the valley. Middle notes are: rose, orris and...
