Drakkar Noir

Guy Laroche Drakkar Noir is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1972. The fragrance opens with Lavender, Lemon Verbena, Juniper, and Clary Sage, settles into a heart of Basil, Jasmine, Pine, and Cedar, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Oakmoss, Musk, and Amber.

Our verdict on Drakkar Noir: Acquired

A truly timeless, sophisticated, and underappreciated classic that often gets overshadowed by its famous flanker. Drakkar is a clean, masculine scent with an air of effortless French elegance.

About

Drakkar opens with a vibrant burst of lemon and bergamot, swiftly joined by aromatic lavender and juniper for a clean, bracing freshness. The heart unfolds with green pine and basil, adding an intriguing depth alongside subtle jasmine. The dry down is a warm, musky embrace of oakmoss, amber, and patchouli, lending a sophisticated, creamy smoothness that feels both classic and modern.
