Black Noir

$115.00

Black Noir opens with black leather and pink pepper in a combination that declares its intentions without ambiguity. Tobacco and Cambodian oud arrive in the heart alongside tiare flower, the tropical floral an unexpected softener against materials that would otherwise read as unrelentingly dark. Patchouli deepens the heart before the base resolves: vanilla and tonka against Haitian vetiver and ambergris, the warm-dark materials holding a sustained drydown that earns the name's double darkness. Pierre Montale building something meant to stay.

Why We Carry This

The tiare flower in Black Noir's heart is the compositional decision that prevents this from being merely heavy. Against black leather, tobacco, and oud, the tropical floral creates a tension that the vanilla-ambergris base then resolves with genuine warmth. Mancera's 2023 addition to the dark materials range demonstrates the house's continuing mastery of the difficult register.
