Comments on: Lubin ~ Nuit de Longchamp http://scentzilla.com/2006/08/07/lubin-nuit-de-longchamp/ A monster perfume habit. On a rampage... with a wanton waft of sillage in its wake.

I recently opened a bottle of Nuit De Longchamp by Lubin. It is the eau de toilette still in its cardboard cylinder packaging with its hang tag and it's completely full. The bottle is about 5-1/2" tall and is made of white glass with glass screw cap. The bottle is decorated with vintage clothed men and women with a floral pattern in dark blue outline. Anyone have any idea how old this bottle might be? Sincerely, RetroRandy I inherited literally hundreds of full bottles of various vintage scents from my mother-in-law.

Glorious!! The oakmoss - so glorious, and the topnotes include a warm molten cinnamon/gingerbread note that is just spectacular. It does indeed smell like it has a fair mix of the main components of Joy mixed it, but on a deeper resinous oakmoss base. HG stuff here!

This was in the early-mid 60's and she lived in malibu and then topanga canyon, and the bottle looked just like that...what a scent..it was my Mom...she wore flats, with peau de soie points, slim Jax cusotm made slacks of softest wool, soft merino sweaters and her Nuit de Longchamps....I can smell it now...my mom..a vision of class and elegance.... ………’NUIT de LONGCHAMPS” was my mother’s only scent.

I just saw that it's been reissued, and descriptions sound NOTHING like mine. So my bottle has either morphed or my nose and/or descriptions are completely off. Could really be either. Me again.

Your grandmother had the same perfume." Which is to say that maybe there's some life in this bottle yet! I don't have the proper terminology and am unable to describe the scent the way you perfume whizzes do, but I can tell you what it smells like to me: It smells like if you took Joy, added some resin/ amber, and something more green, like a dab of coriander with quite a bit of anise, and poured in something indolic to boot. Okay, that sounds not very pleasant, but I can say that I adore this perfume. It's quite unique, unlike anything I've encountered before. It's very heady and rich, almost bitter, but I find it appealing. I bought a bottle of this about a year ago off ebay, and my mother sniffed me and said, “What are you wearing?

I was thinking I might do all vintages this week, too, so prepare for an onslaught of lemmings. I will seriously try to find that Revolution again, though, just because you mentioned it. IF I can find it in the current disarray of my closet! Chaya - heh, yeah, it's hard to not imagine and long for what some of those old vintages really must have been like back in the day when you sniff at faded glory. Heh. Sorry M!
