Lace Noir

I got this after falling head over heels in love with Blue Silk (Review available on that one). Of all their fragrances this seemed closest to it's soul. I comes in just under BlueS to me, as expected since I'm so in love with BlueS. Lace Noir is a lighter, more floral, though thankfully the rose stays in the background. Being a lover of the old fashion big bombs, White Diamonds, Fancy Nights, Opium, Shalimar, TABU and fragrances that "go there" I am not in the least afraid of such whistles like "Old Fashion" or "Old Dark Hollywood Bombs" or comparisons to big dark classic fragrances. Matter of fact, if they are meant to be criticisms they aren't...lol They usually signal to me that I am probably gonna love it. Lace Noir really clings to me, I don't experience any lack of sillage or lasting power...Its' heavy in the air for hours after a good couple sprays. And on clothes, it'll be there for many many days or until washed. The scent on me is a LOT of jasmine, patch and pepper. Not as dark as Blue Silk, but just as warm but in a more dusk time, where-as as Blue Silk is midnight dark. The Tonka/Pepper/Patch combo fools you into thinking there is a woody smell in it, like Blue Silk has, but there's not, it's that combo, which I find quite interesting that the combo can almost create a cedar smell. It comes in 2nd to BlueS for my tastes but I still adore it and am very glad I picked it up. I'm wondering if they have something else I might like, I'll have to investigate their catalog a bit, as Blue Silk and Lace Noir certainly gave their House a grand impression to me. And in conclusion, let me warn you, if you think it smells good in the first 10 minutes, wait 15 minutes more. The dry down is exquisite.

i haven't smelled all perfumes on the market of course...but i am pretty sure that this one smells like nothing else out there ! So special so unique so vintage style...sharp and cozy in the same time. i know that all ingrediencies screams winter...but i literally visualized myself wearing this with backless long dress with tropical plants printed, the moment i smelled it.I am very impressed!i was very lucky that i owned the sample in a discovery set i bought in order to test the original pink bottled one . FB ordered asap...for the upcoming summer nights !

Bergamot, the initial scent. Turns softer, lemony... mint, tonka, woody, ... this is beckoning to be a chypre at this point. Almost reminds me of Jean-Louis Scherrer Jean-Louis Scherrer (a beastly chypre!!), but this is not as strong by any means. Drying down, becomes softer. and the vanilla comes into play, and I never saw it coming. A sweet, root beer coming aboard, too, all while remaining a dry scent. Oh, this is just delightful. I do like it. A man can wear this as well. Still wearing it for test.

This is heavenly! I actually had a much harder time with Blue Silk-- which is way too sharp for my nose. Lace Noir is much rounder and lingers on garments for hours-- was wondering 'what is this wonderful smell?' at the laundry room the other day and I discovered that it was Lace Noir, smelling like warm honey mixed with lavish bouquets in the air.

This is bewitching. It puts a spell on you that makes you have to keep sniffing where you applied it. It's so rich with that sweet vanilla and spiciness. And then that rose-patchouli combination, gorgeous! I could swear I get something like cinnamon from it in that spice. There's kind of an incense vibe. Great cool weather fragrance. Love this one!
