AERIN Ambrette de Noir is a Parfum launched in 2020, created by Olivier Cresp. Ambrette de Noir opens with Rose and Freesia, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Jasmine, and Peony, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Vanilla, Tonka Bean, and Ambroxan. AERIN's Ambrette de Noir carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

Divisive, alluring, and a touch mysterious, this scent offers a luxurious, dark elegance that some find deeply sensual, while others struggle with its unique bitterness or find it too elusive. It's a cashmere blanket for some, a hamstercage for others.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

With moderate longevity and sillage, it's best suited for close encounters, making it an excellent date night choice. Its rich, warm character also lends itself well to formal evening events and cozy casual wear, but it's too heavy for sport and a bit too alluring for a professional office setting.

About

Ambrette de Noir opens with a soft, powdery whisper of rose and freesia, quickly moving into a rich heart where orange blossom and jasmine intertwine with the delicate peony. The real magic unfolds in the base, where creamy vanilla and tonka bean provide a warm sweetness, balanced by the clean woody notes of cedar. Ambrette and ambroxan weave through, creating a musky, sometimes even incense-like, depth that is both comforting and subtly provocative.
