Do you want to know more about this perfume?
It opens with bergamot, citrusy and brief, and what comes behind it is lavender. Not the clean lavender of the classic cologne, but the one from the end of the day on the Valensole plateau: powdery, rounder, with the heat still clinging to the stems. Caramel comes in at the end and closes it off, sweet but dry, without turning it into a gourmand.
Shade of Blue is the eau de parfum from Une Nuit Nomade built on the contrast between lavender and caramelized notes. The Parisian house sets the scene in the fields of Valensole just as the sun goes down and the mauve stalks turn blue, and cites Kind of Blue by Miles Davis as the other half of the reference. The INCI they publish confirms lavandula oil and patchouli oil as real materials in the formula, not just as a description.
It works day and night, and shines in spring and summer, when lavender makes the most sense on the skin. It layers with Spicy Road, from the same house, if you want to amp up the spice, and contrasts with Sun Bleached when you want to take it toward something floral and solar.
What does Shade of Blue smell like?
Shade of Blue by Une Nuit Nomade is a lavender aromatic with bergamot in the opening and caramel in the base. The lavender does not smell like clean cologne, but powdery and rounded, almost caramelized.
Is Shade of Blue a sweet fragrance?
Shade of Blue has caramel in the base, but the lavender and bergamot keep it dry. The brand defines it as a fragrance of contrasts, not as a gourmand.
Where does the name Shade of Blue come from?
Une Nuit Nomade places Shade of Blue on the Valensole plateau at dusk, when the lavender turns from mauve to blue, and cites Miles Davis's Kind of Blue album as part of the reference.
What does Shade of Blue pair well with?
Shade of Blue layers with Spicy Road, from the same house, which adds spice, and contrasts with Sun Bleached if you want to take it in a more floral and sunny direction.
