Eden Perfumes No.286 Drakkar Noir is an Eau de Parfum. No.286 Drakkar Noir opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Lavender, and Rosemary, settles into a heart of Angelica, Jasmine, Carnation, and Cinnamon, and dries down to a base of Fir, Resins, Amber, and Cedar. Eden Perfumes's No.286 Drakkar Noir carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

Drakkar Noir is the 1980s benchmark aromatic fougere - a green, herbal blast of lavender and wormwood over a mossy, woody base. Eden's No.286 keeps the same dense herbal-fougere skeleton but renders it a touch flatter and less refined, so two sprays genuinely go a long way.

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

Guy Laroche's Drakkar Noir defined the aggressively green, herbal fougere style of the 1980s, opening with a sharp blast of lavender, bergamot and wormwood before moving through a spicy carnation-jasmine heart into a dense, mossy base of oakmoss, sandalwood and patchouli. Eden Perfumes' No.286 replicates that same structure closely, with all of the classic top-note aromatics present alongside the same fir, cedar and resinous woods in the base that give the original its distinctive dry, forest-floor character. Where it diverges is in refinement: the Eden version reads a little more linear and less blended than the vintage original, with the herbal top notes sitting louder and longer than the softer transition Guy Laroche achieves, and the oakmoss-patchouli base coming across slightly simpler. Longevity and projection are still strong for the price point, and reviewers note that a couple of sprays is genuinely enough. This is a solid budget way to experience the classic aromatic fougere family that shaped 80s and 90s masculine perfumery, particularly for anyone who wants that retro barbershop-green character for cooler weather without committing to a full bottle of the original.
