Noire

Noire by Serge Lutens, launched in 2008, is a unisex Oriental that builds its character from a single dense tier of clove, incense, spices, ebony wood, woody notes, cinnamon, amber, and patchouli. There is no separate heart or base; instead, these materials fuse into a warm, spicy, woody, amber, smoky, and balsamic whole. The result is a dark, resinous composition where clove and cinnamon crackle over a bed of patchouli and amber, while incense and ebony wood add a dry, shadowed depth. It suits collectors who appreciate dense, non-gourmand spice accords and the austere elegance of Serge Lutens’s oriental style. Best worn in cold weather or evening settings, it rewards those who enjoy a perfume that feels carved rather than blended. This is a scent for someone who wants warmth without sweetness and woodiness without lightness.

Serge Lutens Noire（2008）係一支中性東方調，香調結構好特別：冇分中調同基調，直接由丁香、乳香、香料、烏木、木質、肉桂、琥珀同廣藿香一層過疊成。聞落係暖辣、木質、琥珀、煙燻同香脂感，丁香同肉桂帶頭，廣藿香同琥珀墊底，乳香同烏木添上乾燥陰影。氣質深沉、樹脂感重，唔甜唔膩，適合鍾意濃郁香料同東方調嘅收藏家。最好喺凍天或者夜晚用，襯得住正式場合同靜態氛圍。
