Noir
violet · pink pepper · caraway
Noir opens on violet and pink pepper, then tightens around Tuscan iris, Bulgarian rose and amber. The base of Indonesian patchouli leaf, vanilla and leather leaves a powdery warmth that lingers. Wear it in winter or autumn, when the nights fall early and you want a close, intimate trail.
