BDK Nuit de Sable Eau de Parfum

BDK Nuit de Sable Eau de Parfum conjures a sultry Paris evening in the Palais Royal gardens where cool air meets warm sand. Spiced cardamom and nutmeg lift into a magnetic Turkish rose wrapped with a hot sand accord before easing into polished sandalwood, tonka, ambroxan, and musk. The mood is intimate yet radiant, perfect for late afternoons that drift smoothly into the night.

Story and Positioning

Part of the Collection Parisienne, Nuit de Sable is imagined as a fleeting encounter after dusk in the gardens of Palais Royal, where rose petals mingle with sandy gravel and spice. It reads as a sophisticated, spicy, floral, amber with a distinctive warm sand signature that suits evening wear and elegant summer nights in equal measure. 

Bottle and Design

An elongated glass prism with softened edges gives Nuit de Sable a calm, evening glow. The liquid appears as a pale sand gold, framed by a centered parchment label with a hairline charcoal border and discreet serif lettering. Gentle, tapering shoulders flow into a compact neck that keeps the stance upright and poised. A glossy jet black dome cap crowns the form, seating with a precise, satisfying click. The foot is broad and weighty for stability, and the atomizer lays down a fine, even cloud rather than a forceful jet. The presentation arrives in a rigid, linen white case with restrained branding and a tailored cradle inside, making the reveal feel measured, refined, and quietly luxurious.
