Navitus Parfums Élan Noir is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2025, created by Bertrand Duchaufour and Vincent Ricord. Élan Noir opens with Orange Blossom, Cherry, and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Sour Cherry, Rose, and Peach, and dries down to a base of Cherry Liqueur, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Navitus Parfums's Élan Noir carries an Acquired verdict, a fruity-led wear.

Prepare for a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Élan Noir pulls no punches, marrying sultry cherry liqueur with a divisive sandalwood base. It's a bold, confident statement, but be warned: some find it an instant headache, others a 'gala-worthy' seduction. Sample first, darling.

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.

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its strong sillage, long lasting performance, and rich, sensual cherry-liqueur and sandalwood profile, Élan Noir is best suited for evening and intimate occasions like dates or formal events. It's too potent and distracting for an office environment or casual daytime wear, which aligns with reviews suggesting it's a 'heavy hitter' and 'gala worthy'.

About

Élan Noir plunges into a rich, boozy cherry accord right from the off, with tart blackcurrant and luminous orange blossom adding a vibrant lift. The heart deepens with a jammy Turkish rose and the juicy caress of peach, before it settles into a decadent base of cherry liqueur, creamy vanilla, and a prominent, almost smoky sandalwood that provides a sophisticated backbone.
