What does Noir Premier - Plume Blanche 1901 smell like?

Longevity is good and sillage moderate, so it is noticed up close without filling a room. Most voters place it in autumn and spring, with winter not far behind. Leisure, daily wear and the office come up most. Many call it feminine, though classic and modern both get votes.

Mandarin orange and cardamom give the opening a fresh, lightly spiced lift. White heliotrope, almond leaf and benzoin bring a creamy, gourmand softness. It dries down on white musk, patchouli and white cedar, woody and powdery. Boucheron Iris de Syracuse and Amouage Reflection 45 have a close profile.
