About

Narcisse Noir plunges you into a dramatic floral narrative, starting with the heady, slightly green embrace of narcissus and bright orange blossom. As it evolves, the fragrance unfurls a rich heart of jasmine and a touch of rose, underpinned by a warm, woody base of vetiver, sandalwood, and musk that adds a touch of mystery and timeless elegance.
