Nuits Indiennes by Jean-Louis Scherrer: launched in 1993. Created by perfumer Nathalie Feisthauer.
Art Nouveau shades of Gustav Klimt are seen in the advertising for the perfume.
So what does it smell like? It is classified as a modern floral oriental fragrance for women. It has a melange of sweet fruit and white flowers on a base of warm ambery vanilla and because of this element, some reviewers consider it to be in the same league as the oriental classics Shalimar and Emeraude.

Fate of the Fragrance:
According to author Jan Moran, it was called Nuits Indiennes at its original launch in 1993, and then it was renamed and relaunched (thankfully it was not reformulated) as Nuits de Scherrer a year later in 1994. The name change may have been for a copyright reason. Today you can find the fragrance in production as Nuits de Scherrer.
