Frais et Frais Beaute Noire is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2026. Beaute Noire opens with Grapefruit, Lime, Pepper, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Leather, Lavender, Elemi, and Apple, and dries down to a base of Toffee, Amber, Cedar, and Vetiver. Frais et Frais's Beaute Noire carries a Favourite verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

This one's a proper head-turner, divisive as hell but with a loyal following. It's either 'love it' or 'what the bloody hell is that?', so wear it if you're bold enough to stand out from the crowd.

About

Beaute Noire opens with a lively, spicy blast of grapefruit and pepper, laced with a complex mix of cardamom, cinnamon, and nutmeg that grabs your attention instantly. As it settles, a rich, worn leather accord emerges, softened by a hint of lavender and a surprising crispness from apple. The dry-down is utterly gourmand and masculine-leaning, a delicious blend of sticky toffee and creamy vanilla, grounded by earthy patchouli, amber, and a robust cedar-vetiver base. It's a journey from sharp zest to comforting, decadent warmth.
