Nest Midnight Fleur Soleil and Midnight Fleur perfumes (photo ÇaFleurebon)
As previously posted, Midnight Fleur Soleil is a lighter version of NEST’s earlier release Midnight Fleur. Midnight Fleur, has been a best seller for NEST; it’s bold and intoxicating scent luring many fans since its release in 2012. The Company had received many requests for a lighter version that was easy to wear to the office and during the heat of summer of the year. Both fragrances are elegantly crafted by the hands of perfumer Jérôme Epinette, and their shared soul is easily recognizable in both the day and evening renditions.

Midnight Fleur Soleil opens with a bright and cheerful rush of flowers and hints of fruit. It projects an aura of strolling through a botanical garden on a warm day. The white lotus keeps it watery and fresh, enhancing the brighter sparkling facets of jasmine flower. A tranquil powdery note hides just below the surface projecting delicacy and femininity. Touches of citrus emerge in the heart, lifting the florals and keeping Midnight Fleur Soleil in the sunshine. Precious woods give a soft but stable base for the flowers to float on, with vanilla orchid adding depth.

Midnight Fleur Soleil is the happy go lucky sibling to its sultry sister Midnight Fleur. The day-blooming jasmine grandiflorum is more prominent , and the overall effect is lighter, more sparkling than the original with its heavier oriental amber base. It has shorter longevity than Midnight Fleur, but can be refreshed during the day and is lovely layered with its seductive sibling for nighttime rendezvous or early Fall.
