Noir Obscur

Which Should You Buy?
This is a seriously polarising scent: some find it a sexy, boundary-pushing masterpiece, while others are put off by its intensity. It's a grand, dramatic fragrance strictly for those who dare to be different and shun anything remotely 'inoffensive'.
Noir Obscur is a divisive one. Some find its dark, boozy warmth utterly captivating, a vintage-styled dream. Others, however, are left underwhelmed by its subtlety, calling it flat or too quiet. It's a love-it-or-leave-it scent for those who appreciate nuanced darkness.
