Noir Exquis, launched by L'Artisan Parfumeur in 2015 and crafted by perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour, is a sophisticated Oriental Vanilla fragrance for both men and women. The composition opens with chestnut and maple syrup, creating a warm and enveloping effect that feels like the comfort of home. This sweet and woody introduction gives way to coffee and vanilla, which blend seamlessly into an amber base enhanced by tonka bean and sandalwood. The result is a fragrance that balances richness with restraint, offering a nuanced warmth that never overpowers.

Application Tips
Apply Noir Exquis lightly to pulse points — it blooms slowly on skin over time. The woody base notes are most pronounced after an hour, making it perfect for a night out or a cozy evening at home.
