From your scent profile
Avon Noir opens with a spicy pairing of ginger and saffron, moves into iris and cardamom, and settles on a woody base of vetiver and cedar, in a fragrance made for men.
Skunky's take: The flowers do the talking, the rest listens.

A short but sweet date; a travel size in your bag is a good idea.
Looks good without trying too hard.

Its longevity is rated weak, though few people have voted, so that reading is tentative. It is a masculine fragrance, and there are not enough votes to tie it to a particular season or occasion.
Ginger and saffron give the opening a spicy warmth. In the heart, iris adds a soft floral touch and cardamom a spicy lift. The base of vetiver, cedar, driftwood and musk builds a woody, earthy foundation, with a faintly synthetic edge running through the accords.
