Divisive yet captivating, Black Noir is Mancera's attempt at a softer leather-vanilla for the masses. Some will adore its smooth, sweet embrace; others will find it messy and lacking the darker notes promised by its name.

A budget take on Mancera's Black Noir. Noir Leather captures the smoky leather-and-tobacco core wrapped in oud and a touch of white floral that defines the original, but Perfume Parlour's version reads sweeter and flatter, with the leather feeling more synthetic and the room-filling projection of the original held closer to the skin.
