Launched in 2023 and crafted by Marion Costero, Unexplored Noir is a Woody fragrance that invites you into its warm embrace with an intriguing blend of powdery, spicy, and caramel notes. The composition opens with the freshness of cardamom and pink pepper, giving way to a heart of pine tar and cashmeran, which adds depth and warmth. As it settles, the base notes of sandalwood, patchouli, iris, and violet create an enveloping musky atmosphere that is both comforting and intriguing.

Application Tips
Apply Unexplored Noir to pulse points for an intimate yet lingering effect. The powdery and spicy notes are strongest in the first hour but give way to a warm, musky base that lasts throughout the day. It’s best worn in cooler weather when its enveloping warmth feels most inviting.
