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

Noir Tropical opens with a delicate whisper of bergamot, quickly giving way to a rich, dark vanilla that's far from saccharine. Soon, a boozy rum note emerges, mingling with toasted, powdery almond for a creamy, gourmand heart. The dry-down settles into a smooth, slightly smoky vanilla, retaining a subtle warmth that evokes cosy indulgence without ever becoming cloying.
