Matière Noire

Matière Noire presents a fresh, airy interpretation of rose and oud, characterized by a watery opening with jammy black currant and heady floral notes like jasmine sambac and narcissus. Over time, it evolves into a softly smoky, woodsy base with warm patchouli, benzoin, and a subtly earthy, suede-like oud that never becomes overpowering. The scent balances lightness with depth, offering a refined elegance that feels modern yet timeless. Its texture is crisp and airy, with a refreshing aquatic quality that prevents it from veering into sweetness or heaviness. While some perceive it as understated or lacking in boldness, the majority describe it as versatile, elegant, and quietly captivating, suitable for day wear and transitional seasons. It blends seamlessly into the skin, wrapping the wearer in a sense of mysterious sophistication.
