Noir Elixir

The quiet luxury of an after-dinner drink, where the air is thick with vanilla and amber notes, mingling with the subtle spice of a smoldering cigar.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Noir Elixir by Aaron Terence Hughes is a composition that embodies the warmth and depth of vanilla and amber, set against a backdrop of woody spiciness. Launched in 2025, this fragrance was crafted to evoke an intimate yet confident presence. The rich notes of vanilla and amber create a sensual core, while the warm spicy elements add a touch of complexity that keeps the scent intriguing throughout its wear.

How to wear it

Apply Noir Elixir in thin layers to let the base notes develop gradually. The vanilla and amber accord will bloom over time, so it’s best not to overwhelm the senses at first application. Ideal for evening wear when you want a scent that evolves with you.
