The story behind the bottle.
Black Noir by Mancera, launched in 2023 and crafted by Pierre Montale, is an Oriental Woody fragrance that balances sweetness with warmth and depth. The composition opens with black leather and pink pepper, creating a sharp contrast against the rich tobacco and Cambodian oud notes that follow. Tiare flower adds a subtle floral touch, while patchouli, vanilla, tonka, Haitian vetiver, and ambergris form a base that is both animalic and woody, enveloping the wearer in a warm embrace.
Apply one or two sprays to pulse points; the fragrance develops fully within half an hour. The animalic base notes will bloom gradually, so avoid over-applying for a more nuanced experience.
