Angélique Noire
Angélique Noire by Guerlain is an unisex eau de parfum from 2005 in the luxury price tier. It opens with bergamot and pink pepper, moves into caraway and angelica and dries down to vanilla, musk and cedarwood. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
Heart
- Caraway Warm, seedy and slightly aniseed. Rye bread in a bottle.
- Angelica Musky, herbal root. Earthy and a bit strange.
Dry-down
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
