L'Entropiste Ensang Noir is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2025, created by Bertrand Duchaufour. Ensang Noir opens with Coriander, Cucumber, Blackcurrant, and Aldehydes, settles into a heart of Rose, Magnolia, and Peony, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Patchouli, Birch, and Incense. L'Entropiste's Ensang Noir carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

Seriously divisive stuff, Ensang Noir is either a masterpiece of dark rose artistry that makes you feel alive, or a screeching, metallic mess. It's not for the faint of heart, but those who 'get it' absolutely adore its gothic allure.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

With strong projection and long-lasting performance, Ensang Noir is too potent for an office setting. Its dark, sensual, and mysterious character makes it ideal for evening dates and formal events, though it's too heavy for casual day wear or 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.

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

Ensang Noir opens with a bold, almost metallic bite of aldehydes and blackcurrant, sharpened by a cool whisper of cucumber and coriander. This gives way to a blood-red heart of opulent rose, accompanied by soft magnolia and peony, creating a deep, wine-like floral accord. As it settles, smoky incense and earthy patchouli emerge, grounded by an unusual caramel sweetness and birch, making for a complex, brooding dry down.
