Antonio Alessandria Noir Obscur is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014. Noir Obscur opens with Spicy Notes, Orange, Artemisia, and Rum, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Iris, and Osmanthus, and dries down to a base of Musk, Leather, Amber, and Cedar. Antonio Alessandria's Noir Obscur carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

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.

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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Step into a shadowed, rum-laced parlour where spiced citrus peel mingles with ancient, leather-bound books. Dark woods and earthy patchouli provide a rugged framework, while a ghostly whisper of iris and rose drifts through the air. The final act introduces a smoky, amber warmth, enveloping you in a rich, melancholic embrace. It's a journey from boozy beginnings to a contemplative, incense-laced drydown.
