About

Essence Noir kicks off with a zesty, energetic burst of bergamot and grapefruit, sharp and invigorating, balanced by a hint of spicy ginger. The heart unfurls into a clean, green blend of aromatic geranium, rosemary, and sage, giving it a classically masculine, barbershop-esque feel. As it settles, a soft bed of musk and cedar emerges, warmed gently by amber, providing a subtle, grounded finish.
