Noire

Bergamot brightens the start while orris adds a cool, soft note and cypress a green, resinous edge. Lavender and geranium form an aromatic heart, warmed by amber. As it dries down, tonka bean and vanilla bring a smooth sweetness and patchouli an earthy depth, giving the scent a rich, comforting finish.

Rated at eight to ten hours, it suits autumn, winter and spring. It works as a daily signature, polished enough for the office and warm enough for evening occasions. Wear it when you want to feel quietly confident, from early meetings to dinner out on a cold night.
