Aromers No 75 Matière Noire is an Extrait de Parfum. No 75 Matière Noire opens with Aquatic and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Cyclamen, Rose, Jasmine, and Narcissus, and dries down to a base of Oud, Patchouli, Benzoin, and Incense. Aromers's No 75 Matière Noire carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

Louis Vuitton's Matière Noire pairs a juicy blackcurrant opening with a luminous multi-floral heart over a sacred oud-incense base, and this dupe follows the same dark-meets-radiant contrast closely, if with a slightly less velvety finish.

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.

About

No 75 opens with a tart blackcurrant syrup and watery accord, tracking Matière Noire's fruity, slightly sharp introduction before it softens into an unusually layered floral heart. Centifolia rose, jasmine sambac, narcissus and cyclamen combine to create the 'luminous floral radiance' the original is celebrated for, and this dupe keeps all four florals rather than simplifying to just rose. The base turns dark and resinous with oud, incense, patchouli and benzoin, mirroring the sacred, smoky depth Louis Vuitton built the fragrance around. It doesn't quite reach the same velvety sweetness in the drydown that makes some fans call the original 'unmistakably luxurious', settling for a slightly drier, more straightforwardly resinous finish instead. Still, the dark-floral-oud contrast at the heart of Matière Noire's identity comes through clearly, making this a fair substitute for anyone drawn to its mysterious, sensual character.
