Nombre Noir by Shiseido is a legendary creation that immediately sets itself apart through a dark, ink-like damask rose. The opening combines a sharp blast of aldehydes with green marjoram and palisander rosewood, creating a cold, mysterious atmosphere. As it warms on the skin, a rich ylang-ylang and powdery orris root soften the initially dry woody edges. The dry-down settles into a base of warm honey, woody vetiver, and clean musk that clings to the skin for hours. It is an ideal companion for formal evening wear in late autumn or cold winter nights. Given its extremely rare status, acquiring a sample first is highly recommended before chasing down a collector's bottle. Show less
