What does Noir L'Or smell like?

The top pairs blackcurrant syrup with aquatic notes, so the dark sweetness is lightened by something watery. The heart brings rose, cyclamen, jasmine sambac and narcissus. In the base, caramel, frankincense, oud, benzoin and patchouli take over, and the scent settles into a powdery, creamy, woody warmth.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though the number of ratings is small, so these figures are only a rough guide. It reads neither masculine nor feminine. Its sweet, spicy build suits cooler days best. French Avenue Essence de Noir and RP Velours Noir have a close profile.
