Frédéric Malle

Noir Epices

Noir Epices by Frédéric Malle is an unisex eau de parfum in the luxury price tier. It opens with sweet orange and geranium, moves into clove, nutmeg and cinnamon and dries down to patchouli and sandalwood. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.

Notes, explained

Opening

• Sweet Orange Juicy and cheerful. The friendliest citrus there is.
• Geranium Rosy and minty at once. Reads masculine more often than not.

Heart

• Clove Hot, dry and dental. Powerful — a little goes a long way.
• Nutmeg Warm, woody and slightly sweet. Cosy without being gourmand.
• Cinnamon Sweet heat. Reads festive, sometimes to a fault.

Dry-down

• Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
• Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
