Noir Epices Eau de Parfum vs By Kilian Eau de Parfum
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
Noir Epices is a truly polarising fragrance; a sophisticated, spicy oriental that some hail as a masterpiece and others find far too vintage, bordering on medicinal. You'll either adore its bitter orange and clove intensity or recoil from its potent blend.
Rich woody and spicy nuances create a lasting impression, perfect for cool weather and intimate gatherings.
