La Parfum Galleria Forêt Noire is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2026, created by Christian Provenzano. Forêt Noire opens with Cognac, Almond, Raspberry, and Strawberry, settles into a heart of Cream, Dark Chocolate, Coffee, and Cherry, and dries down to a base of Brown Sugar, Vanilla, and Honey. La Parfum Galleria's Forêt Noire carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This one's a guilty pleasure, a boozy gourmand that pulls no punches. Definitely not for the faint-hearted, but if you love sweet, rich, and a bit naughty, Forêt Noire delivers. It's a bold statement, often divisive, but endlessly intriguing.

Composition

Timeline

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.

Casual

Given its strong Gourmand and Sweet accords, Forêt Noire is best reserved for intimate date nights where its richness can truly be appreciated. It's far too intense and attention-grabbing for office wear or formal events, and certainly not for sport.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bitter almond Benzaldehyde from Almond
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Imagine indulging in a decadent dessert, a black forest gateau given a grown-up twist. Forêt Noire opens with a lush splash of cognac, sweetened by ripe raspberry and strawberry, with a nutty hint of almond. As it deepens, a creamy, dark chocolate accord emerges, balanced by bitter coffee and rich cherry. The dry down is pure indulgence, a warm embrace of brown sugar, vanilla, and honey, leaving a lingering, addictive sweetness that's almost edible.
