Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Thé Noir 29 EDP
A chic, introspective scent that weaves dried fig, black tea, and tobacco into a quietly powerful aura. Thé Noir 29 is both refined and enigmatic-signature-worthy for those who crave complexity over crowd-pleasing sweetness.
Statement
Our Verdict - LL167 The Noir 29 EDP
LL167 reproduces The Noir 29's spiced fig-and-tobacco gourmand very convincingly, with reviewers calling it a hefty, near-identical dupe, though the tobacco-hay base leans slightly sweeter than the original's drier, smokier finish.

Season and Occasion Fit

Thé Noir 29

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Winter

Thé Noir 29 is anchored by woody, earthy, and dried fruit notes, making it exceptional in fall and spring when mild weather brings out both its freshness and depth. It is less suited to hot summer days due to its complexity and density, but works well on cooler evenings or mild winters.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

This scent's rich, distinctive character and moderate boldness make it perfect for dates, creative or formal settings, and evening events, while its sophistication lets it work for the office if applied lightly. It is too moody and complex for sporty activities.

LL167 The Noir 29

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

Spiced fig over a tobacco-hay base reads as a cold-weather, evening-leaning fragrance.

Occasions

Also Works:
Date Casual

Moody and characterful enough for evenings and casual wear; understated enough to also suit smart-casual settings.
