Tendre Nuits by Isabey c1944
Bottles:
Fate of the Fragrance:
The name "Tendres Nuits" was filed by Isabey for US trademark in 1944. I believe it was withdrawn soon after production. A competitor, Lancome, released their perfume, Tendres Nuits in 1935. During WWII, importations of Lancome fragrances such as Tropiques, Tendres Nuit, Fleches, Cuir, Conquete, Bocages, Peut Etre, and Kypre were halted and did not return to US soil until 1946.
Revival of Tendres Nuits:
The long discontinued perfume was resurrected under the name, Tendre Nuit, by Isabey in 2018.
From Isabey:
"The Story: First created by Isabey Paris in 1944 in New York, Tendre Nuit (Tender night) is remembered for its romantic name, like a whisper. The poetic and flamboyant plum colour of the bottle combined with voluptuous night Rose and animal Ambrette seeds fragrance are inspired by emotions of a tender and passionate night. It is 3 am in Paris, she is sitting on the edge of her bed in a room filled by sensations. Love is floating in the air, sweet and sensual like a night Rose. A warm breeze from the balcony thru the room is caressing her skin. The night is tender, her life is a dream."
Fragrance Composition:
From Isabey:
"The Fragrance: A night of love and passion when the quintessence of femininity is revealed by an extraordinary swirl of Rose Oil and Absolute. Coupled with Ambroxan, the Queen of flowers is wrapped in an addictive mystery, and finally opens on the powdery drydown of Ambrette, for a caressing sensuality. The unforgettable fragrance of a desired and beloved skin."
- Top notes: Almond, Pink Pepper
- Middle notes: Rose oil, Rose Absolut, Ambrette seeds
- Base notes: Ambroxan, Cashmeran, Benzoin, Vanilla Co2
