Antonio Alessandria Noir Obscur is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014. Noir Obscur opens with Spicy, 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.

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.
