Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Noir Kogane EDP
Divisive, powerful, and unapologetically masculine, Noir Kogane isn't for the faint of heart. Expect a beastly leather that polarises opinion, but those in its thrall consider it a masterpiece of dark luxury.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Golden Noir EDP
A budget take on Armani Prive's Noir Kogane. Golden Noir captures the deep, spicy-leather character, tobacco and vetiver over saffron, elemi and a rich leather base, that defines the niche original, but Perfume Parlour's version reads flatter and tamer, missing the intensely animalic, beast-mode opening of the original.

Season and Occasion Fit

Noir Kogane

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

This is a strong, projecting fragrance, making it a poor choice for the office. Its dark, luxurious leather and tobacco profile, coupled with its intensity, make it ideal for date nights and formal events, or any occasion where you want to make a powerful statement. It's too heavy for casual wear or sport.

Golden Noir

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

The spicy leather, tobacco and saffron are dark and warm, made for cold-weather autumn and winter wear.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its bold, masculine-leaning depth leans toward evenings, formal occasions and dates rather than the office or sport.
