Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Matière Noire EDP
Divisive, intriguing, and undeniably luxurious, Matière Noire is a complex beast. Some find its oud too challenging and its rose too mature, while others adore its dark, sensual elegance. Definitely not a blind buy, but a must-try for those daring enough for a darkly sophisticated floral oud.

Our Verdict - No 75 Matière Noire Extrait
Louis Vuitton's Matière Noire pairs a juicy blackcurrant opening with a luminous multi-floral heart over a sacred oud-incense base, and this dupe follows the same dark-meets-radiant contrast closely, if with a slightly less velvety finish.
