Black Noir Eau de Parfum vs No.239 Nouveau Monde Parfum
ScentArt
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.
Inspired by Louis Vuitton Nouveau Monde, No.239 recreates the oud-leather-caramel signature well, with Eden's own review calling out the saffron-oud-cocoa complexity, though the expensive oud accord reads a touch synthetic and thinner than the designer original's depth.
