"Perfume of the Timeless" is an upcoming single by Finnish symphonic metal band Nightwish, the first from their tenth studio album Yesterwynde. It is set to be released on May 21, 2024.[1] The single is set to be the band's first published song to feature Jukka Koskinen on bass, replacing Marko Hietala.[2] Pre-release, it has been described by Tuomas Holopainen to be an eight and a half minute long song, with the chorus coming in at 3:30 in the track.[3]

Cover art[edit]

The cover art of the single features a photograph taken by Frank Meadow Sutcliffe, featuring a young woman helping an older woman wind wool. It was taken around the late 1800s.[4] Nightwish's cover art is an edit of this photograph, with vocalist Floor Jansen replacing the younger woman in the photo.
