Mancera Black Noir is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Pierre Montale. Black Noir opens with Black 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 an Acquired verdict, a vanilla-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.

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.
