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.
This is a beast of a fragrance with a divisive opening, but give it time to macerate and you'll be rewarded with a rich, complex, and high-quality scent. It's an undisputed crowd-pleaser for lovers of sweet, dark ouds.
