Noir Exquis

Noir Exquis is a deeply layered, gourmand fragrance that evokes the cozy ambiance of a winter morning by a crackling fireplace. It begins with a bright, juicy blend of chestnut, orange, and sweet maple syrup, which quickly settles into a warm, woody center featuring roasted chestnut, dark ebony, and sandalwood. The heart of the scent is a masterfully balanced interplay of sweet vanilla, coffee, and heliotrope, creating a sensuous, slightly smoky vanilla that feels both refined and intimate. The drydown is drier and more structured, with a subtle incense-like depth, making it feel elegant and mature rather than overly sweet. While the overall composition is praised for its sophistication and smoothness, the scent is most celebrated for its intimate projection and restrained sillage, making it ideal for close, personal wear during colder months. It's a fragrance that grows on you over time, transforming from a shimmering prelude to a deep, enveloping presence that lingers on skin and clothing long after application. Despite its warm gourmand core, it never feels heavy or cloying, maintaining a delicate, airy quality that allows it to be wearable in both formal and casual settings.
