Which Should You Buy?
Our Verdict - Black Noir Eau de Parfum
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.

Our Verdict - Veilleur de Nuit Eau de Parfum
A dark-chocolate-and-tuberose oriental floral with a deep animalic underpinning - cacao and dark chocolate over musk, civet, and castoreum, lifted by a single skin-warm tuberose. Released in Lutens' Black Cube line at a notorious price point. Strange, dense, expensive - polarising but unforgettable when it works.

Black Noir Eau de Parfum
Seasons
Best For:
Autumn
Winter
Also Works:
Spring
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Best For:
Date
Casual
Also Works:
Formal
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.
Veilleur de Nuit Eau de Parfum
Seasons
Best For:
Autumn
Winter
Built for cold months - the dense cacao and animalic base bloom in winter air and feel oppressive in summer heat. Late autumn and winter only.
Occasions
Best For:
Date
Formal
An evening and intimate-setting perfume - sensual, dense, animalic. Too distinctive and warm-skinned for the office, too refined for casual wear.
