Mancera Black Noir is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Pierre Montale. Black Noir opens with Leather and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Tiare Flower, Oud, Patchouli, and Tobacco, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Vanilla, Tonka Bean, and Ambergris. Mancera's Black Noir carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

Divisive yet captivating, Black Noir is Mancera's attempt at a softer leather-vanilla for the masses. Some will adore its smooth, sweet embrace; others will find it messy and lacking the darker notes promised by its name.

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.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:

Its potent projection and sweet, leathery profile make it less suited for formal or office settings, where it might overwhelm. Black Noir truly excels on date nights and cooler casual outings, where its alluring warmth can shine.

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.

About

Black Noir opens with a sweet, almost bubblegum-like rush of vanilla and a curious, creamy leather that hints at something dark without committing. Pink pepper adds a touch of spice before soft tiare flower blossoms, lending a delicate, almost coconut lotion quality. The scent mellows into a plush base of dry vanilla and tonka, with subtle whispers of tobacco and a tamed oud, creating a sweet, enveloping aura that leans into powdery softness.
