What does Black Noir smell like?

The top pairs pink pepper with black leather for a spicy, leathery start. In the heart, Cambodian oud, patchouli, tiaré and Cuban tobacco take over, and the scent turns resinous and oriental. The base of tonka bean, Brazilian vanilla, ambergris and Haitian vetiver settles into a creamy, sweet warmth.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind, and evenings and nights out lead the occasions. Close to half of voters read it as masculine. Mancera Intense Instant Crush and Rabanne 1 Million Golden Oud have a close profile.
