Guy Laroche 1982 EDT
Drakkar Noir
Guy Laroche Drakkar Noir is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1982, created by Pierre Wargnye. Drakkar Noir opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Mandarin, and Lavender, settles into a heart of Angelica, Cedar, Pine, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Patchouli, and Oakmoss. Guy Laroche's Drakkar Noir carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.
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.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
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.

Its fresh, clean, and understated character makes it versatile for most settings, especially casual and office wear. While not overly formal, its sophisticated aura allows it to carry into more dressed-up occasions, though it leans more subtle for a date night.
