What does Cœur Noir smell like?
The scent follows a clear oriental line: amber, benzoin and vanilla form a sweet, creamy base, softened further by tonka bean. Sandalwood and patchouli add a woody, earthy depth, nutmeg and sage bring a spicy edge, and geranium leaves a floral touch. Musk smooths everything into one warm, skin-like whole.
With its gourmand, warm character, it suits anyone who likes dense, dark fragrances. Histoires de Parfums Ambre 114 and Laura Mercier Ambre Passion have a close profile.
