Review of Nuit de cellophane by RINA

The fragrance opens with a dazzling impression of mandarin and osmanthus accords, sparkling like stars. Supporting this is a floral scent centered around jasmine. This osmanthus and jasmine accord has a somewhat metallic feel—this is cellophane. Upon closer examination, the fragrance reveals a classic floral-fruity composition of peach, apricot, and jasmine. Serge Lutens' use of jasmine is a hallmark of the brand. The complex and rich, deep floral notes of jasmine are truly the brand's forte. Adding osmanthus creates a sense of jasmine representing the night and osmanthus representing the stars. The overall relaxed flow beautifully evokes a nocturnal atmosphere—truly a cellophane night! What's noteworthy is how Lutens deliberately transforms the nostalgic warmth of osmanthus into the inorganic beauty of cellophane's sheen. It's like a cellophane veil wrapping a bouquet of jasmine flowers, making something beautiful shine even brighter and protecting it with care!
