Noir EDP has one match so far. These are the closest scents by shared notes that have several.
Opens with a sharp crack of black pepper and nutmeg over a bright lemongrass edge that fades fast. The heart settles into a smoky, slightly powdery rose held down by patchouli and orris — darker and earthier than the citrus opener suggests. The dry-down is where it earns its reputation: vanilla, amber, and opoponax build into a warm, resinous base with real staying power and moderate-to-strong sillage that lingers close to skin by hour four. Projection is confident without being loud — a grown fragrance that doesn't announce itself twice — Fall and winter evenings, formal or date settings, someone who wants warmth with an edge.

Dupes are rated on two independent dimensions: scent accuracy (how closely it matches the original) and longevity (how long it lasts on skin). 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.
