Sexy Little Things Noir Tease
Noir Tease plays a game with expectations: the name suggests something dark and smoky, but the composition opens with pear — bright, clean, slightly watery — before settling into a white floral heart of gardenia, magnolia, and freesia with jasmine threading through.

By the editors · 2 min readNoir Tease plays a game with expectations: the name suggests something dark and smoky, but the composition opens with pear — bright, clean, slightly watery — before settling into a white floral heart of gardenia, magnolia, and freesia with jasmine threading through. There's nothing dark until the base, where praline and benzoin introduce a warm, sweet resinous quality that finally justifies the name. The amber and sandalwood provide structure, but the praline dominates at skin level, making this a sweet fruity-floral-gourmand rather than anything genuinely noir. Uncomplicated and pleasant — a warmer-weather crowd-pleaser that works better than its marketing suggests.
