About this fragrance
Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.
Nombre Noir (Shiseido, 1982) opens with a brisk aldehydic flare, sharpened by coriander and bergamot over the rosy-woody rasp of palisander. Marjoram adds a herbal edge before the heart unfolds: a dense, old-school bouquet of Damask rose, osmanthus, carnation, orris, lily-of-the-valley, jasmine and ylang-ylang. The base is a rich oriental woody accord—honey, vetiver, sandalwood, musk, tonka, benzoin and amber—that lingers with warmth and depth.
This is a collector’s scent: a bold, complex floral oriental from the early ’80s, best suited to those who appreciate vintage-style compositions with pronounced aldehydes and a honeyed, resinous finish. It wears well in cool weather and evening settings, projecting confidence and sophistication. If you love classic Shiseido or vintage orientals with a floral heart, Nombre Noir is a worthy addition to your rotation.
