The story behind the bottle.
Élan Noir, launched by Navitus Parfums in 2025, is the collaborative work of perfumers Bertrand Duchaufour and Vincent Ricord. This fragrance opens with a burst of cherry and sour cherry, creating an initial sweetness that is both fresh and inviting. The heart notes of orange blossom and Turkish rose add a floral depth, while the base of vanilla and sandalwood provides warmth and a lingering comfort. Élan Noir is neither overly sweet nor heavy; instead, it balances fruity and powdery accords to create a complex yet approachable scent.
Apply two sprays to your pulse points for a balanced experience. The fruity top notes are bright but fade within an hour, allowing the powdery warmth of the base notes to take center stage. Best worn in the evening or cooler weather when its subtle complexity can shine.

Bertrand Duchaufour
The world traveler's noseBertrand Duchaufour is a perfumer-adventurer whose creations read like a travelogue of the senses. Trained at Roure (now Givaudan), his work draws deeply from his journeys through Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and sub-Saharan Africa.
“The art of perfumery must be at the same time, innovative, harmonius, and “sent bon”.”
