Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Matière Noire Eau de Parfum

Divisive, intriguing, and undeniably luxurious, Matière Noire is a complex beast. Some find its oud too challenging and its rose too mature, while others adore its dark, sensual elegance. Definitely not a blind buy, but a must-try for those daring enough for a darkly sophisticated floral oud.

Our Verdict - Sable Noir Eau de Parfum

Sable Noir is an unexpectedly juicy rose, a modern take that's far from your granny's potpourri. It rides the line between jammy and fresh, making it a surprisingly versatile and genuinely pleasant wear that's winning over the unconvinced.
