No. 63 – Pleasure Noir
Fragrance notes
No. 63 – Pleasure Noir opens with a cool violet leaf paired with the warm, slightly peppery lift of cardamom. The spice is present but restrained, allowing the floral note to lead without becoming sweet. It feels clean and dry from the first moment, setting a tone that stays consistent as the fragrance develops.
The heart introduces papyrus and iris. Papyrus adds a dry, papery woodiness that complements the violet, while iris brings a soft, rooty powder. Together they create a texture that is smooth rather than fluffy. The aromatic quality here keeps the composition feeling fresh rather than heavy.
Sandalwood, cedar, and leather form the base. The sandalwood is creamy and mild, the cedar provides a dry structural backbone, and the leather is subtle, reading as a soft suede rather than a rugged hide. These elements ground the earlier notes without overwhelming them.
The overall character is woody, powdery, and aromatic with a gentle warmth from the spice. It suits someone who enjoys iris and violet in a dry setting instead of a sugary one. The leather accent gives it a slight edge that works in professional environments. It closes on a steady sandalwood note.
