S.T. Dupont S.T. Dupont Noir is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2006, created by Michel Girard. S.T. Dupont Noir opens with Lavender, Cardamom, and Mint, settles into a heart of Clove and Nutmeg, and dries down to a base of Cashmere Wood, Vetiver, and Hazelnut. S.T. Dupont's S.T. Dupont Noir carries a Favourite verdict, a spicy-led wear.

S.T. Dupont Noir is a divisive scent, a blind-buy gamble that some hail as an underrated gem for its unique spicy-lavender complexity, while others dismiss it as a cheap, cloying mess reminiscent of bad air freshener. It's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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

A dynamic and evolving fragrance, Noir opens with a brisk, almost aggressive blast of cool mint and aromatic lavender, sharpened by a hint of spicy cardamom. This gives way to a warmer, richer heart where clove and nutmeg introduce a subtle, sophisticated spiciness. The dry-down settles into a comforting embrace of creamy cashmere wood and earthy vetiver, with an unexpected, slightly sweet hazelnut adding depth and a touch of intrigue.
