Shade of BlueGourmand Aromatic Eau de Parfum

Shade of Blue by Une Nuit Nomade is an amber gourmand aromatic eau de parfum, unisex, composed by Marine Ipert. The house locates it on the Valensole plateau, in Provence, at the time when the lavender fields turn blue.

A Parisian house that composes destinations

Une Nuit Nomade was founded by Philippe Solas and Alexandra Cubizolles and is headquartered at 91 boulevard Saint-Germain, in Paris. The first collection was called Une Nuit à Bali; it was by wanting to explore other places that nomadism imposed itself. Each perfume is linked to a real place, and the house entrusts each destination to a different nose.

An opening of bergamot and myrrh

The departure combines a bergamot, clear and zesty, with a myrrh that sets from the first minutes a resinous warmth. This contrast announces the whole perfume: freshness and warmth at the same time.

A heart of lavender and lavandin

The heart superimposes a lavender absolute, a lavender and a lavandin. The absolute brings the floral depth and roundness; the lavender and the lavandin, the herbal sharpness. The material of Provence, worked in three forms rather than one.

A base of tonka bean and caramel

The base combines a tonka bean absolute and a caramel. This is where the lavender changes its face: its powdery freshness rounds out and becomes almost caramelized.

The gesture of the house

Shade of Blue captures a lavender at a precise moment: that when the sun goes below the horizon over the fields of Valensole. Rather than a clean laundry lavender, Marine Ipert takes it towards a gourmand base of tonka and caramel. The name echoes Kind of Blue, the album by Miles Davis that the house cites to describe this moment.

For whom, for what occasions?

Shade of Blue is for those who love lavender but often find it too austere, and for those who are looking for a gourmand that remains fresh. A unisex eau de parfum for spring, summer and mild evenings: Shade of Blue Une Nuit Nomade is worn just as well during the day as at the end of the day.
