PowderyWhat does Or Noir smell like?
Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind. It suits daytime as well as evening, and its character is mostly seen as feminine and classic.
It opens with bergamot, mandarin orange and aldehydes, a bright, slightly fruity start. The heart gathers jasmine, rose, gardenia, ylang-ylang, iris and lily of the valley into a powdery, green and sweet bouquet. Patchouli, amber and moss settle underneath, giving the base a woody, spicy and faintly animal feel.
