Which Should You Buy?
Noir Exquis is a divisive, albeit adored, sophisticated take on a gourmand. Expect a rich, comforting, woody vanilla with a gentle coffee and maple warmth. Be warned: performance is a roll of the dice.
This one's a mixed bag, to put it mildly. Some folks rave about its unique character, while others are scrubbing it off within minutes. Expect a heavy, spicy ride that leans masculine, but don't expect it to be a crowd-pleaser for everyone.
