Name: Poise Noire Eau de Parfum
Brand: Yardley London
Availability: InStock

Yardley London Poise Noire is an Eau de Parfum. Poise Noire opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Water Lily, Amber, Oud, and Rose, and dries down to a base of Musk, Leather, and Vetiver. Yardley London's Poise Noire carries an Acquired verdict, a oriental-led wear.

Compiled from Yardley's own product notes (yardleylondon.co.uk) and retailer copy (Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.sa): a spiced bergamot-pink pepper-mandarin opening into a white amber-rosemary-oud heart layered with waterlily, jasmine and rose, closing on musk, leather and vetiver - the darker, oud-led sibling of Poise.

About

Poise Noire opens with a vibrant, spiced fusion of bergamot and pink pepper brightened by mandarin - a livelier, spicier start than the standard Poise, immediately signalling a bolder, darker composition. The heart is the fragrance's most distinctive feature: white amber, aromatic rosemary and rich oud combine for a genuinely oriental-woody core, while retailer copy also describes a softer floral layer of waterlily, jasmine petals and dewy rose facets running alongside it - giving Poise Noire real structural complexity for a Yardley EDP. The base closes on musk, leather and vetiver, delivering a sophisticated, slightly smoky finish that reinforces the 'Noire' name and gives the fragrance genuine depth and staying power. Described by the brand as embodying 'tranquility and harmony,' Poise Noire is positioned as the darker, more oud-forward, oriental-woody counterpart to the brighter, more classically floral Poise - a bolder, evening-leaning choice within Yardley's accessible EDP range.
