As it dries down, a delightful, lightly almond-inflected heliotrope blends perfectly with a creamy vanilla, while a notably darker wood note, described here as ebony, lends a dynamic and romantic touch to smoother, lightly powdery notes of tonka and sandalwood. What Duchaufour has created here is not a mere representation of a patisserie, but rather a capsule of every positive feeling one could associate with such a place. The results are truly lovely, and we're happy to say that Noir Exquis is a creamy, sweet, beautiful new achievement for one of our favorite perfumers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Parisian patisserie is so much more than a simple shop- it's a place of wonder, where exquisite pastry and invigorating coffee aromas set the backdrop for timeless friendships, fierce intellectual debates, lazy afternoons, and chance romantic encounters. It was the last of these things, the idea of love blossoming over eclairs and cafe au lait, that inspired Bertrand Duchaufour to create Noir Exquis, a wondrous new gourmand that combines the mouthwatering scents of a patisserie with a deep, sophisticated, and luminous base of woods and floral amber that sings of attraction, connection and delight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eREVIEWS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFragrantica - \u003c\/strong\u003e\"This is a divine unisex perfume that is high on my wish list. It is intense and dark, but not bitter or sharp. The opening is to die for with the roasted chestnuts and maple, but in the middle I get the wonderful fleshy floral orange flower - it adds grace and lightness without ever getting too floral or sweet. I love the mid section - the combination of the penetrating coffee with the sweeter floral note is just exquisite. The tonka comes in and I am a major tonka addict so things just get better and better! The base really reminds me another perfume - perhaps Tom Ford Noir Femme, but I am not sure. It is warm and enveloping, reassuringly smooth and well constructed. The coffee persists all the way to the base which I love- dark roasted beans with tonka and vanilla. Yum. Longevity 10 hours, sillage moderate- good for cooler weather. BTW I don't think it is anything like By the Fireplace, which to me has unpleasant traces of barbecued sausage. Noir Exquise is far more masterly.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFragrantica -\u003c\/strong\u003e \"This is a lovely, cozy unisex scent that, I feel, could really work most any time of day or any occasion. With master parfumeur and mixmaster extraordinaire Bertrand Duchaufour at the helm, all notes and accents are so smoothly blended that nothing feels too loud or prominent and everything works together beautifully.  My nose gets some of the sweet orange and a tiny drop of coffee in the opening, but what I smell at 1st spray and lingering closely on my skin for hours is primarily a soft, subtle, sophisticated medley of the base notes: warm vanilla, light wood, tonka bean\/coumarin and - a fave of mine - heliotrope, of which there's a nice creamy, almondy dosage.  Another masterpiece. I see why folks might draw comparisons to \"By the Fireplace\", but that one would be a drugstore cousin, if anything - much more sweet, smoky and synthetic musky.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFragrantica -\u003c\/strong\u003e \"This is a very well done gourmand scent that might appeal to people who are not into \"too foody\" perfume. Upon opening, it smelled like smoky Marron glace, dressed with vanilla, maple syrup, and coffee. I do not pick out other notes such as orange and flowers. It definitely suits the winter, evoking the image of being cozy around the fireplace enjoying coffee and chestnuts(and I dearly love chestnuts!).\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"L'Artisan","offers":[{"title":"1 ML - Glass Sample Vial","offer_id":44767826608289,"sku":"LARTNOIREXQUISE-1","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 ML - Glass Spray in a 2 ML Atomizer","offer_id":46271274025121,"sku":"LARTNOIREXQUISE-1S","price":6.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 ML - Glass Spray","offer_id":44767826509985,"sku":"LARTNOIREXQUISE-2","price":11.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 ML - Glass Spray","offer_id":44767826673825,"sku":"LARTNOIREXQUISE-3","price":17.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 ML - Glass Spray","offer_id":44767826706593,"sku":"LARTNOIREXQUISE-5S","price":29.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 ML - Glass Roll On","offer_id":44767826575521,"sku":"LARTNOIREXQUISE-5R","price":29.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 ML - Glass Spray","offer_id":44767826542753,"sku":"LARTNOIREXQUISE-8","price":47.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1993\/6689\/files\/lartNoir.jpg?v=1734399057","url":"https:\/\/theperfumedcourt.com\/products\/lartnoirexquise","provider":"The Perfumed Court","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
