The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 1949 by Caron, Or et Noir is a fragrance that embodies the elegance and refinement for which the French brand is renowned. Created by Michel Morsetti, this composition opens with an array of roses — Bulgarian Rose, Taif Rose, and simple Rose notes — interwoven with geranium and carnation to create a floral bouquet that is both fresh and spicy. The heart introduces lily, adding depth and warmth, while the base layers in oakmoss, amber, and woody notes for an earthy, sensual finish.
Or et Noir has an initial burst from its rose top notes that fades within the first hour. Opt for two sprays to ensure that the rich base notes emerge fully. Best enjoyed during cooler weather when the warmth of the amber and woody notes can truly shine.
