The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2021 by Jean Jacques for Caron, Narcisse Noir is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance that embodies the brand's legacy of elegance and refinement. The composition opens with bright citrus notes from neroli and petitgrain, creating an immediate freshness that contrasts beautifully with the warm, enveloping base of sandalwood and vetiver. The heart of jasmine, orange blossom, and rose adds depth and complexity, while musk and powdery accords bring a soft, comforting finish. This fragrance is a modern interpretation of Caron’s storied heritage, blending classic florals with earthy undertones to create an enduring scent.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays to pulse points for a balanced experience — the citrus top notes will fade within an hour but the woody-musky base will linger throughout the day. This fragrance reads best close to skin, so layering it under a light jacket enhances its warmth and depth.
