Belle de Nuit by Fragonard c1947

Belle de Nuit was launched in 1947 by Fragonard. It was named after a flower of great beauty that only opens its petals at night - not to the sun - but to the moon.






Belle de Nuit is an original, deep rich harmony of mirabilis, violet, geranium, rose and plum on a warm velvety bottom note of musk. A precious fragrance, as magical as an Arabian night! It is very similar to Christian Dior's J'Adore fragrance.

So what does it smell like? It is classified as a fruity floral oriental fragrance for women.


  • Top notes: geranium, mirabilis
  • Middle notes: rose, plum, violet
  • Base notes: musk
