L’Artisan Parfumeur Noir Exquis
L’Artisan Parfumeur want to whisk you off to a romantic rendezvous in a patisserie with Noir Exquis. This gourmand eau de parfum has the aroma of a confectionary with hints of glazed chestnuts, candied orange, maple syrup and coffee. This is an addictive and comforting fragrance.

L’Artisan Parfumeur have fast become a new favourite fragrance brand for me.
The French brand began 40-years-ago and is just now making its way into the UK and further afield.
Noir Exquis take us straight into a traditional French patisserie with a delicious concoction of coffee, glazed chestnuts and maple syrup. Unlike other gourmand fragrances, this one avoids those sickly sweet top notes but instead gives us a feast for the nose with a nutty twist.
Top: Chestnut, orange.
Heart: Orange blossom, coffee, maple syrup.
Base: Ebony, heliotrope, vanilla, tonka bean, sandalwood.
This was my first true luxury fragrance, and it is nothing short of perfect. It definitely hits those sweet notes at first, but don’t think that this makes it smell “feminine” (not that that’s even a bad thing at all) – the coffee in the heart and sandalwood in the base gives it a surprisingly great weight on the skin that lasts for hours. Highly, HIGHLY recommend!
Couldn’t agree more. I absolutely love this one.
