A decant is a small portion of perfume — typically 2 ml or 3 ml — transferred from an authentic full-size bottle into a glass vial with a sprayer. It lets you live with a fragrance for several wears before committing to a full bottle. LaScentLibrary decants are filled by hand from bottles the owner has personally purchased.

Are these perfumes authentic?

Yes. Every decant is filled from a full-size bottle that the owner has purchased from authorised retailers (boutiques in Cyprus, brand websites, niche-perfume specialty stores). We don't resell concentrates or blends — only the original juice from the original bottle.

We hand-deliver in Paphos, Cyprus, and ship across the rest of Cyprus by courier (typically 1–2 days). For shipments outside Cyprus, please contact us on Telegram @energizer1977 to arrange.

Bank transfer before shipping. After you place an order on the site or via Elena (the AI sommelière), we confirm the order and send payment details on Telegram. Once we see the transfer, we ship.

Can I get help choosing a fragrance?

Yes — the site has Elena, a multilingual perfume sommelière (Russian, English, Greek) who can suggest decants based on what you already love or the mood you're going for. You can also browse by note, by accord family, or by brand.

Annick Goutal Étoile d’Une Nuit: review of a powdery nocturnal scent

Annick Goutal Étoile d’Une Nuit is a soft powdery fragrance with a vintage glow, where night smells of iris, lipstick, and velvet.

**Annick Goutal Étoile d’Une Nuit** belongs to that rare register of fragrance that never tries to speak loudly. There is no neon halo around it, no sugary static; instead you get powder, fabric, lamplight, and the quiet trace of a dressing table after a late return home. A recent mention in perfume media brings it back into focus and with it the larger conversation about intimate evening compositions that stay close to the skin and unfold through gesture rather than spectacle.

## What Annick Goutal Étoile d’Une Nuit smells like
What matters here is texture more than volume. The fragrance sketches a veil of powder, the memory of vintage lipstick, a dry iris line, and a soft glow lingering in the air after the door has closed. This is not “night” in the familiar perfumery sense: no dense oud, no liqueur-dark sweetness, no theatrical drama. It feels more like a private half-light of skin, velvet, retro powder, and restrained sensuality.

## Who should wear a powdery night fragrance
Étoile d’Une Nuit will appeal to anyone who loves an intimate sillage and a vintage mood without heaviness. If you are drawn to perfumes where the trail feels more like fabric than like a room-filling cloud, this can be an exact evening choice. In that sense, it is worth revisiting our piece on **Annick Goutal Nuit et Confidences**: there night appears through vanilla smoke and sweet darkness, while here it arrives as powder and muted light.

## What to try in a related mood
If the idea of a floral fragrance that shimmers rather than shouts speaks to you, have a look at **Ex Nihilo Fleur Narcotique**. Its character is different—more daylight, more transparency, more juicy fruit at the surface—but it carries a similar feeling of composed beauty without pressure. After thinking about **Étoile d’Une Nuit**, it becomes a natural next step not for a verdict of “better or worse,” but for a change of lighting: from a soft powdery night into a clean floral glow. Sometimes that is exactly how taste reveals itself—through an evening spent with two different shades of quiet.
