Which Should You Buy?
This MFK offering is a smooth, sophisticated scent that's ultimately divisive. While many praise its clean, well-blended aroma, others find it unoriginal and overpriced for its often-middling performance.
Noir Exquis is a divisive, albeit adored, sophisticated take on a gourmand. Expect a rich, comforting, woody vanilla with a gentle coffee and maple warmth. Be warned: performance is a roll of the dice.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its clean, smooth and inoffensive profile makes it highly suitable for office wear and casual settings, with many reviews highlighting its 'everyday signature' potential. While the gourmand sweetness gives it a date-night appeal, its often-reported moderate projection and longevity make it less ideal for formal situations where a stronger presence is desired, and clearly unsuitable for sport.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
This is a warm, intimate scent best suited for cooler weather. Its gourmand and warm spicy accords make it perfect for dates and casual outings, offering a comforting presence. While some find it office-safe due to its soft projection, it's generally too rich for formal events or strenuous activity.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Vanilla, Warm Spicy, Sweet accords and Coffee, Tonka Bean notes
