Filippo Sorcinelli ennui-noir is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016. ennui-noir opens with Myrtle and Lavender, settles into a heart of Cedar and Heliotrope, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Patchouli, and Vanilla. Filippo Sorcinelli's ennui-noir carries an Acquired verdict, a vanilla-led wear.

Divisive, dark, and utterly unique, ennui-noir is a love-it-or-hate-it affair. It's a statement scent for those who embrace the melancholic and sophisticated, but definitely not a blind buy for the faint of heart.

About

A complex dance of powdery vanilla and earthy patchouli, ennui-noir opens with an aromatic whisper of lavender and myrtle. Cedar adds a woody backbone, while heliotrope introduces a sweet, almond-like floralcy, often perceived as dark or liquorice-like. The drydown settles into a gothic, deep vanilla anchored by vetiver and a persistent, slightly dirty patchouli, creating a dark, almost meditative ambiance.
