Ombre Noire

The quiet confidence of an early morning walk where the crispness of mint and fig leaf gives way to the rich warmth of tobacco and cinnamon.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2017 by Lalique, Ombre Noire is an Oriental Spicy fragrance crafted by perfumer Karine Dubreuil-Sereni. The composition opens with the vibrant freshness of fig leaf and mint before transitioning into a heart of tobacco leaf and cinnamon, creating a warm, spicy contrast that adds depth to the scent. The base notes of cognac, myrrh, cedar, and tonka bean provide a rich, woody warmth that lingers throughout the day.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays in the morning — the vibrant top notes are fleeting, but the warm base notes last through the day. This fragrance reads best close to skin rather than filling a room.
