Our verdict on Noir Exquis: Favourite

Noir Exquis is a divisive, albeit adored, sophisticated take on a gourmand. Expect a rich, comforting, woody vanilla with a gentle coffee and maple warmth. Be warned: performance is a roll of the dice.

About

Imagine stepping into a luxurious patisserie on a crisp autumn day; that's Noir Exquis. It opens with candied chestnut and a whisper of orange, quickly melting into a heart of rich coffee and a smooth maple syrup. The base luxuriates in warm vanilla, creamy sandalwood, and dark ebony wood, creating a scent that's both deeply comforting and elegantly complex.
