Noùmeno The Benchmark is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2026. The Benchmark opens with Green, Fruity, Bergamot, and Apple, settles into a heart of Powdery, Orris, Ylang-Ylang, and Osmanthus, and dries down to a base of Musk, Resin, Amber, and Vanilla. Noùmeno's The Benchmark carries an Acquired verdict, a fruity-led wear.

This is a seriously lush, powdery fruity-sweet dream. It’s got a bit of an old-school charm but modernised with vibrant fruit. If you're after something unique and comforting, this is it.

About

The Benchmark opens with a bright, juicy blast of mixed fruits - crisp apple, sweet pear, and a hint of peach, all underlined by a fresh green kick that stops it from being too cloying. This quickly melts into a soft, ethereal powdery heart, where the sophisticated iris and exotic ylang-ylang create a delicate, almost velvety texture. The base settles into a warm, inviting blend of rich amber, creamy vanilla, and a gooey caramel smoothness, lingering beautifully on the skin.
