Lattafa Sur Mesure Noir is an Eau de Parfum. Sur Mesure Noir opens with Allspice, Bergamot, Cinnamon, and Nutmeg, settles into a heart of Mahonial, Lavender, and Elemi, and dries down to a base of Amber, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Vetiver. Lattafa's Sur Mesure Noir carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

A spicy chameleon of a scent that swings between 'well-dressed woody spice' and 'metallic oddity'. It's got fans and detractors, often depending on whether you're after a faithful dupe or a unique dark wood. Expect cola vibes and a bit of a pickle twist for some, but a solid, warm spice for others.

Scent Profile

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.

About

Sur Mesure Noir opens with a burst of fiery pimento, cinnamon, and nutmeg, brightened by a hint of bergamot, leading to an almost 'cola' fizz. The heart reveals aromatic lavender and elemi, adding a balsamic resinous touch. It dries down into a warm, earthy embrace of vetiver, sandalwood, and patchouli, underpinned by deep amber and cedar, creating a smoothly blended woody-spicy fragrance.
