Which Should You Buy?
Divisive yet captivating, Black Noir is Mancera's attempt at a softer leather-vanilla for the masses. Some will adore its smooth, sweet embrace; others will find it messy and lacking the darker notes promised by its name.
A divisive scent that evokes strong opinions. This is not for the faint-hearted; it's a bold and sweet fragrance with a distinct 90s vibe that some will adore and others will find cloying.

Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its bold and sweet character, described as 'demanding attention' and 'cloying' by some, makes it less suited for a professional office environment. The warmth and sensuality of the leather and spiced notes make it ideal for dates and evening events, while its strong projection might be too much for casual daytime wear.
