by Christopher Sheldrake

Serge Lutens Datura Noir is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2001, created by Christopher Sheldrake. The fragrance settles into a heart of Coconut, Vanilla, Tonka Bean, and Myrrh.

Our verdict on Datura Noir: Favourite

This Serge Lutens classic is a creamy, sweet tuberose that manages to be both comforting and subtly seductive. It's divisive only in its perceived strength and coconut-to-tuberose ratio - some find it fleeting, others a tropical dream.

Its creamy, sensual character makes it ideal for dates and comfortable for casual wear, especially in cooler weather. While generally gentle, its richness and potential for moderate sillage keep it from being a top choice for a professional office environment or active sports.

About

Datura Noir opens with a burst of sweet almond and creamy coconut, quickly enveloped by a smooth, narcotic tuberose. Hints of apricot and lemon blossom add a touch of fruity brightness before settling into a warm, powdery base of vanilla, tonka, and myrrh. It's a luscious white floral, rich and textured, with a sophisticated sweetness.
