Which Should You Buy?
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.

Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its potent projection and sweet, leathery profile make it less suited for formal or office settings, where it might overwhelm. Black Noir truly excels on date nights and cooler casual outings, where its alluring warmth can shine.
Seasons
The smoky leather, tobacco and oud are dark and warm, made for cold-weather autumn and winter wear.
Occasions
