Noir 29 has one match so far. These are the closest scents by shared notes that have several.
Opens with a sharp pepper bite that cuts through almost immediately to reveal a cold, powdery iris — not floral-sweet, but rooty and slightly medicinal. The leather and oud arrive together in the heart, dense and smoky without veering into outright darkness; the oud reads more resinous than barnyard. Dry-down is where it earns its name: amber and musk soften everything into a warm, skin-close finish with moderate sillage that lingers for hours without announcing itself — an intimate rather than projecting wear. — Late autumn evenings, city dinners, for anyone who wants depth without aggression.

Scores come from owner reports on Reddit r/fragrance, r/fragranceclones and Fragrantica, and each is marked community-scored, provisional or not scored. They are never averaged into a single number — accuracy and longevity are separate decisions.
