Queen of The Night
by Grandiflora
Queen of The Night by Grandiflora is a rich, opulent white floral with a strong aldehydic opening that evokes a lush, nocturnal garden of jasmine, syringa, lily-of-the-valley, and ylang. The fragrance unfolds with a thick, juicy floral core dominated by orange blossom and almondine gourmand notes, creating a highly sensual and immersive experience. The drydown reveals a deep, musky woody base with hints of incense, vanilla orchid, sandalwood, and a faintly animalic, spicy warmth that adds mystery and depth. It's as if the scent captures the fleeting bloom of a night-opening flower—ephemeral yet unforgettable. The perfume has moderate to long wearing time and moderate to strong sillage, making it most suitable for evening wear or special occasions. It appeals to those who enjoy intense, complex floral compositions with a gourmand and slightly synthetic edge, but may feel overwhelming or unbalanced to those sensitive to aldehydes, musk, or Iso E Super.
