Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Formal

Given its dominant sweet, warm accords, Noir Elixir is far too indulgent for the office or sport. It truly shines on a date, where its sensual warmth can be appreciated, and could also work for a daring formal event thanks to its luxurious feel.

About

This elixir opens with a captivating, almost boozy burnt sugar note, immediately drawing you into its gourmand embrace. Rich vanilla follows, creamy and opulent, seamlessly blending with the warmth of tonka bean. An amberwood base provides a smooth, resinous depth, anchoring the sweetness without ever letting it become cloying. It's a decadent, sweet-woody fragrance that feels both familiar and entirely unique, a true vanilla-amber powerhouse.
