Vera Wang Princess Noir is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2017. Princess Noir opens with Mandarin, Pear, and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Cotton Flower, Jasmine, and Freesia, and dries down to a base of Chocolate, Amber, Patchouli, and Rosewood. Vera Wang's Princess Noir carries a Favourite verdict, a fruity-led wear.

Vera Wang Princess Noir is a divisive dark gourmand with real personality. If you're after a mysterious, grown-up twist on fruity sweetness and can handle the prominent blackcurrant and patchouli, this 'cheapie but goodie' is well worth sniffing out. It's not a safe blind buy, but its fans are devoted.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its moderate sillage and warm, gourmand notes make it excellent for dates and evening casual wear. While it could work for some formal events, it might be too playful for highly serious occasions. It's too heavy for sport and generally a bit much for office wear, although some find it cozy enough for daytime.

About

Princess Noir opens with a burst of dark, juicy blackcurrant and sweet pear, brightened by a hint of mandarin. The heart introduces a soft, powdery cotton flower alongside delicate jasmine and freesia, preventing the fruit from becoming too saccharine. As it dries, a rich, semi-sweet chocolate emerges, grounded by earthy patchouli, warm amber, and a touch of woody rosewood, giving it a comforting, sultry depth that's perfect for cooler evenings.
