Prudence, SOIREES BLANCHES, Eau de Parfum 100 ml

It is the summer solstice in St Petersburg that most elegant imperial city designed and developed by the Czars and emblematic to the Russian people.
In the west beyond the mouth of the Neva River and the Gulf of Finland, the sun slips blood red below the horizon. The sky is suffused with pink reflected in the tranquil waters. In the field of Mars and the Summer Gardens people are gathering to enjoy this natural phenomenon: the fountains Cascade in the gardens of the Peterhof Palace, their waters glinting in the twilight, domes, towers and columns are silhouetted everywhere. Canals and waterways linked by decorative bridges intersect the Neo-classical, Russian Revival and Baroque facades. The light fades but never disappears as pink becomes white, as the bridge in front of the Peter and Paul Fortress tilts open as if to herald the forth coming dawn; a moment in time, lightness, beauty and romance is everywhere.
To capture the spirit of this moment, Prudence has designed a fragrance that reflects this lightness; its name is “Nuits Blanches”; it is a distillation of discreet, langorous but sublime feminity…Divine white, a color that embraces everything.
The fragrance is composed mainly of white flowers, but is interlaced with several deep undertones. Headnotes are of aromatic Bergamot and tea developing into a complex mixed bouquet which includes the intensity of Tuberose. The early morning light is reflected by flavors of Jasmine subtly interlaced with centifolia Rose, both of which must be gathered at dawn in Southern France. Heart notes are completed with a hint orchid supplemented by the richness of Freesia. Sensuality finally invades the lightness and patchouli swirls in the atmosphere with musc. Powdered traces of Benjoin and Vanilla terminate the concerto and herald the dawn.
