The Noir 29

The opening is immediate: bright bergamot slicing through the dense, jammy sweetness of fig. A sharp snap of bay leaf provides a cool, herbal tension that keeps the fruit from feeling heavy. As it settles, the scent pivots toward a dry, intellectual woodiness where cedar and vetiver provide a rigid frame. Deep in the dry down, the character shifts into cured tobacco and sun-baked hay, leaving a lingering, earthy hum on the skin. It clings to layers of clothing for days, evolving from a vibrant citrus-fruit profile into a persistent, smoky, and textural shroud.
