Perfume Parlour Noire Extract is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016. Noire Extract opens with Rice, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom and Coffee, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Perfume Parlour's Noire Extract carries a Favourite verdict, a musk-led wear.

A budget take on the discontinued YSL Black Opium Nuit Blanche - the sweetest, milkiest spin on the Black Opium DNA, all creamy coffee, orange blossom and vanilla. Noire Extract captures that soft, toffee-latte character but renders it flatter and skin-close, with even less projection than the gentle original.

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

Noire Extract opens on a soft, milky rice note before settling into the recognisable Nuit Blanche heart of creamy coffee and orange blossom. The base turns sweet and comforting with white musk, sandalwood and a generous wash of vanilla, evoking the toffee-nut-latte character that made Nuit Blanche the sweetest and most approachable of the Black Opium range. With the original now discontinued, this Perfume Parlour interpretation is a welcome revival - though it renders the composition more two-dimensional, with the sweet coffee-vanilla pushed forward while the sandalwood-musk base sits thinner and fades faster to the skin. Soft and office-friendly, it is a cosy cool-weather choice for daily wear and dates, delivering the Nuit Blanche mood at a budget price.
