Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Thé Noir 29 Eau de Parfum

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.

Our Verdict - Encre Indigo Eau de Parfum

This one is a divisive gem. You'll either get an "inky masterpiece" or a "dental office scrub" - there's very little middle ground for this unique take on the Encre Noire DNA. Prepare for strong opinions.

Season and Occasion Fit

Thé Noir 29 Eau de Parfum

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.

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn

Summer Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Office Formal

Its moderate projection and fresh yet sophisticated character make it suitable for a range of occasions; it's clean enough for the office but intriguing enough for a date. While some found the performance lacking, others found it to be moderate at an arm's length, suggesting it's versatile but not a beastly projector.
