L'Artisan Parfumeur Noir Exquis is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015, created by Bertrand Duchaufour. Noir Exquis opens with Chestnut and Orange, settles into a heart of Maple Syrup, Orange Blossom, and Coffee, and dries down to a base of Ebony, Sandalwood, Heliotrope, and Vanilla. L'Artisan Parfumeur's Noir Exquis carries a Favourite verdict, a vanilla-led wear.

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.
