Noir Intense
Fragrance notes
Character
Pink pepper and basil hit first, bright and slightly biting. Lemon and bergamot add a clean citrus lift that keeps the opening from feeling heavy. Lavender sits quietly in the background, softening the sharper edges without taking over. Galbanum brings a crisp green snap that feels more herbal than floral. Petitgrain adds a faintly bitter orange leaf tone that grounds the top notes.
Geranium and nutmeg form the spicy heart, with jasmine and violet adding a soft white floral touch. The nutmeg warms the blend while the violet keeps it smooth and slightly powdery. It feels suited to someone who likes aromatic scents with a gentle floral layer. Those who want a purely fresh citrus without any spice will likely find the heart too warm.
The sandalwood and vetiver base is dry and woody, with patchouli adding earthiness and licorice lending a dark, slightly sweet twist. Gurjan balsam rounds it out with a mild resinous depth. It fits a dimly lit room where warm air carries quiet conversation and polished wood surrounds you. A carved sandalwood fan rests on a velvet tablecloth.
