By the editors · 2 min readMint and lavender open in tight harmony, with cardamom adding a dry, slightly resinous spice that keeps the freshness from reading toothpaste. It is an unusually green opening for a fragrance named Noir — the darkness arrives later.
The transition runs through nutmeg, brief but important, before the base reveals its core: vetiver paired with hazelnut. The hazelnut is the signature move — a light gourmand woody facet that gives the vetiver a buttery edge without turning the perfume into a dessert. The result is a dry, slightly nutty woody-aromatic, more cool-skin than projecting, suited to office wear in cool weather and to casual evening use across most of the year. Quiet, focused, deliberately understated.
