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.
A budget take on Frederic Malle's Noir Epices - the same juicy rose wrapped in a warm symphony of cinnamon, clove, pepper and nutmeg over creamy sandalwood. Dark Poem captures that spicy-rose character but reads flatter and shorter-lived than the niche original, the spice rougher and the sandalwood drydown thinner.
