Maison Noir Alter Ego 786 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022, created by Alexandra Monet. Alter Ego 786 opens with Cinnamon, Saffron, and Raspberry, and settles into a heart of Cedar, Sandalwood, and Geranium. Maison Noir's Alter Ego 786 carries an Acquired verdict, a leather-led wear.

A divisive one, this. There's a lot to like if you're into fruity oud leathers and can ignore that initial comparison to Ombré Nomade. Fans love its rich, woody dry down, but beware: one sniff could leave you craving chips, apparently.

About

Opens with a bold, fruity kick of raspberry, spiced up with saffron and cinnamon, quickly ushering in a robust leather and oud heart. This strong start mellows into a sophisticated, woody dry down, where cedar and sandalwood provide a smooth, elegant base, softened by lingering hints of its initial fruitiness and leathery depth.
