Understanding a perfume before buying it — choosing with our senses
Written on 15.12.2025
In Paris, the Dans le Noir? Sensory Space offers a unique olfactory experience built around its remarkable Eau de Parfum de Nuit — launched in 2024 and ranked Marie Claire’s No. 1 night-time fragrance ahead of major international brands. This immersive workshop reconnects each participant to their senses, emotions and instinctive preferences. It highlights the creativity of Suzy le Helley, a talented Symrise perfumer, in collaboration with the sensory experts of Dans le Noir? — a singular creation dedicated to the intimacy of the night. A refined and elegant gift idea that embodies true luxury: choosing with our senses rather than through an advertising fantasy.
A full olfactory experience
The Dans le Noir ? Sensory Space invites guests to a rare encounter with perfume.
Here, a fragrance is not looked at — it is felt, breathed, and understood through emotion.
At the heart of this immersive journey lies Eau de Parfum de Nuit, the signature creation of the house, guiding participants through an experience unlike any other.
Designed as an exploration of the senses, this workshop offers a new way to understand perfume — without imagery or preconceptions.
Each raw material, each note reveals a memory, an image or a sensation, awakening sensitivity and imagination to spark emotion.
Eau de Parfum de Nuit: a sensory creation
Developed by French perfumer Suzy le Helley, in collaboration with our Dans le Noir ? sensory experts led by Tiffany Kendziolka, Eau de Parfum de Nuit was born from a dialogue between emotion and Symrise’s exceptional raw materials.
It is an enveloping, mysterious fragrance, designed to be felt before it is understood.
Built around woody, floral and ambery notes, it evokes the depth of darkness and the fleeting warmth of a memory or emotion.
More than a perfume, it is a sensory and emotional journey — a subtle balance between memory, skin and sensation.
A workshop open to everyone
The Dans le Noir ? fragrance workshop may be enjoyed alone, as a duo or as a gift.
It offers the perfect opportunity to reconnect with your personal criteria of choice — often blurred by the excesses of modern marketing.
A precious sensory gift to offer this Christmas or New Year to those who appreciate authenticity and emotion.
Extending the experience at home
After the workshop, participants can find Eau de Parfum de Nuit and all our scented creations in the boutique.
If the fragrance resonates with them, they will have understood it intimately.
The perfume becomes a tangible extension of the experience — a lasting trace of emotion — making it a refined and original gift for Christmas or New Year.
A signature to discover
Halfway between experience and discovery, the Dans le Noir ? Paris fragrance workshop redefines true luxury
and rebuilds an authentic relationship with traditional perfumery.
It is an experience that brings emotion back to the heart of creation and restores the perfume’s primary purpose:
expressing who we truly are — not who marketing wants us to be.
An inspiring, poetic and unexpected gift for the festive season.
