Parah Noir opens with clove, lemon and frankincense and settles into tonka bean, vanilla and musk, a spicy, resinous women's fragrance that has been discontinued.
Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out, though daily and office wear also get votes. More voters read it as feminine than masculine, but a fair share call it masculine.
The top pairs clove and lemon with frankincense, so citrus and spice balance each other. The heart of amber, iris and patchouli turns it powdery, earthy and slightly smoky. In the base, tonka bean, vanilla and musk leave a sweet, oriental warmth. Rasasi Rumz Al Rasasi 9453 pour Lui and Fragonard Rêve Indien have a close profile.
