Framboise Noire

by Julie Massé

Shay & Blue London Framboise Noire is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015, created by Julie Massé. Framboise Noire opens with Raspberry, Red Berries, and Red Fruits, and dries down to a base of Woody and Musk. Shay & Blue London's Framboise Noire carries an Acquired verdict, a fruity-led wear.

This one's a proper Marmite moment. Some folk reckon it's a luscious, dark berry dream, while others find the oud-berry combo a bit of a mess. Best try before you buy, as 'your mileage may vary' is an understatement here.

Its potent projection and distinct fruity-oud blend make it a bit much for the office. It's much better suited for evening wear and dates, where its 'sexy' and 'smouldering' qualities can shine without overwhelming.

About

Framboise Noire bursts open with a sweet, juicy hit of red berries and raspberry, reminiscent of a tart yet rich compote. This vibrant fruitiness swiftly softens into a woody heart, dominated by a sometimes controversial oud. The base settles into a comforting blend of musky, dark woods, grounding the initial sweetness with an earthy depth. It aims for a wine-like sophistication but can err on the side of sticky.
