Seductive Noir

Product Information

Although this scent might have no exact dead ringers, there are quite a few that inspire comparison. The main one is the ever-popular and timeless Mon Guerlain, the quintessential Guerlain fragrance with bergamot, floral notes, vanilla, benzoin, and patchouli. Instead, she oozes confidence and femininity that should be reflected in her scent. Guess Seductive Noir pulls slightly mature and yet still flirty, juicy, and dark.

The main comparison comes in the marriage of floral and oriental, or floriental, that still reads as soft and elegantly feminine. The main difference is the opening, in which Seductive Noir is much darker and spicier thanks to its inclusion of sage. The deep components of this scent, such as the vetiver, sage, and velvet, make this an ideal scent for cooler weather. However, it’s not so deep or cloying that it can’t be worn during warmer weather if desired. Top notes are sage, peony, and bergamot. Middle notes consist of iris, lily-of-the-valley, and jasmine sambac, while the drydown releases base notes of Haitian vetiver, vanilla, and velvet. The combination of all these notes gives an oriental, floral, and aromatic effect that some people describe as ambery and pleasingly powdery. Who Would Like It? If you’re looking for something with much similar DNA, then try the original Seductive fragrance. Seductive Noir is a flanker to this original version, launched in 2010.

This scent is a perfect fit for a sophisticated woman who knows what she likes. The quintessential Seductive Noir woman doesn’t have to assault the senses of those around her with strange or challenging scents to feel noticed or appreciated. While this scent makes a big splash initially, you will likely find that it starts to dry down and sit much closer to the skin within the initial two to three hours.

In fact, the peony, bergamot, and iris keep this scent fresh and uplifting, balancing out the musky nature of the fragrance with youthful, aromatic florals. Like with the majority of fragrances, Seductive Noir for Women takes you on a scent journey that continues and morphs as the initial, brighter notes start to wear off and give way to the deeper, darker components of the scent.
