Matierre Noire

Mysterious and a little dangerous, this one is for women who do not want to smell sweet or safe. Dark blackcurrant and plum open it with a wine-like richness, then narcissus, ylang ylang and jasmine give a heady, almost animalic floral heart. Oud, patchouli, sandalwood and musk pull everything into shadow. It thrives at night, at winter weddings, formal dinners and occasions where you want to be noticed the moment you enter. The oud gives it real Gulf credibility while the fruit and flowers keep it distinctly feminine. Apply sparingly, because it grows on skin over hours. What you get is depth, drama and a trail that follows you across the room.
