Launched in 2015, The Noir 29 by Le Labo is a fragrance that defies easy categorization. Created by perfumer Frank Voelkl, it centers on the distinctive pairing of fig and tobacco, notes that lend the composition a dry, leathery texture. This distinctive blend opens with fresh spicy and citrusy elements like bay leaf and bergamot before settling into a base of cedar, vetiver, musk, and hay. The result is an aromatic fragrance that some find intriguingly complex, while others describe it as an acquired taste.

Application Tips
Apply one to two sprays — the fresh spicy top notes are fleeting but essential for setting up the tobacco and fig heart. This fragrance is best experienced close to skin rather than across a room, so aim for pulse points where it can develop gradually.
