Noir Absolu
Smoke, oud & black amber
A nocturnal composition built on aged oud and black amber, wrapped in a veil of incense smoke. Noir Absolu lingers like the memory of a room you were not supposed to enter.

Composed over three years in Grasse, Noir Absolu began as a study of absence — the scent left behind after the candle is extinguished. Our perfumer layered Laotian oud against a resinous amber accord, then threaded a thin line of birch smoke through the heart.

Unlike anything I own
I have a wardrobe of niche fragrances and nothing comes close to the depth of Noir Absolu. The smoke is real but never harsh. Compliments every single time.

Worth every cent
Lasts a full day on my skin. The dry-down with the birch smoke and vetiver is sublime. This is a forever bottle.

Gorgeous, but bold
Stunning composition — just go easy on the sprays. One is plenty. The bottle itself is a piece of art.
