Or Noir

Or Noir is the quintessence of refinement and nobility. Citrus zest and sprinkling green fruits create an invisible sensation of freshness. The narcotic floral heart unfolds as night falls by stretching musk over a salty modern amber base. If you read the fragrance notes, the perfume can appear complex, dense, and abundant. Instead, three significant aspects emerge from the underlying ingredients of Or Noir: the fruity accords, the flowery ones, and the more savoury and gourmand ones. At the top, we find a salad of floury fruits that include a buttery pear and a crunchy apple. A cocktail of citrus juices and peels encloses this mix of fruits, while a handful of orange blossom petals are afloat. It is an important, imposing opening with bubblegum flaps, supported by a bunch of white flowers that it kicks to come out into the open. In summary, an explosion of sweet orange blossom mixed with lively, fruity, and slightly citrus notes. Another fruity note also differs and dominates more among the others, sweetish, which I still need to guess. Soon, both the freesia with aquatic edges and the nocturnal and indolic jasmine take over and announce the entry of the heart. At the same time, the citrus and fruity aspects subside a bit without disappearing completely. Though, the peach's more juicy and velvety ones, which alternate with the white flowers, replace the pear and apple notes, giving me sweetish puffs. Heavy, highly detectable musk and amber, with almost animalistic aspects, wrap this luxurious beauty. The salty attitude of the ambroxan is overpowering and hides a bit the chocolatey praliné and the milky coconut. Hence, the fragrance does not come out as too gourmand like "Good Girl (Eau de Parfum) | Carolina Herrera" or "Black Opium (Eau de Parfum) | Yves Saint Laurent", although they share some similar vibes. Or Noir is very well-balanced, and the notes are subtle and not overwhelming. Not too sweet, flowery, or fruity, but with a character that creates a very mild aura. The sweet and amber nuances make me reach for it during the cold fall days and evenings. I found it for little money and was surprised to find such an outstanding performance! Suitable for evenings and nights. Longevity is enormous; above all, it does not annoy in closed places, such as offices or restaurants. Today a colleague wrote to me asking me what perfume I was wearing. "Oops, maybe I exaggerated!" I replied, and she said, "no, it's that I'm obsessed with perfumes and this is delicious!" Incredible how an unknown perfume bought at a ridiculous price can be so successful, superior to other perfumes of famous costly brands. I look forward to coming across "Or Pur | Baldinini", hopefully another hidden gem of the same brand. I base my opinion and review on a bottle I have owned since October 2020.

This is one of my best blindbuys. Not a discovery but such a solid, good, comforting scent. Fluffy, sweet, airy, good quality, comforting scent. Ambery, sweet but too much, musky a bit fruity. It just smells like brown, plushy dress. Quite seductive, feminine, cozy, dense plush. .

It is very nicely balanced. Not really sweet, not really flowery, not really fruity and at the same time it has character and creates very feminine aura. It is lasting on my skin. I found it for less money and I did not expected such good performance!

An intoxicating scent, I feel like Uma Turman in Pulp Fiction when wearing it, there is some infinite elegance to it.

This was a blind buy because it was inexpensive and said "Noir". Yes, sometimes that's all it takes. When I first spray it, I can smell the top fruits and the middle peach with some orange blossom. Freesia is my nemesis, so it's good I can't smell it in this. There is some sweetness from the praline to support the fruits and flowers. Then a couple of red berries come in with a bit of amber. I also get a little coconut in the bottom. This is a sweet perfume - between the praline and coconut, it can't help but be sugary. I'm not quite sure what makes this noir. I wouldn't describe it as such - it isn't necessarily deep or dark, unless it's in comparison to another Baldinini perfume that I don't have. Longevity is good - 8+ hours and sillage is moderate. I'd wear this in cooler weather - it might be a little heavy and too musky in the heat.

Seductive and mysterious amber scent with orange blossom. I'm glad that the notes are subtle and not overwhelming, especially amber. Suitable for evenings and nights out. Usually I am not a fan of the amber scents, but I must admit, I find it wearable. Not bad!

Nice perfume I just tested it today ,think women would like it

This scent is by my opinion a generic sweet perfume. It is similar to Lady Million, but not a dupe. For me not interesting scent. I had a sample and i will not remember it.

mmm... don't know... On my skin I perceive a first blast of flowers, blended with the amber notes and some orange... I almost smell a honey note (must be the orange blossom + amber). No coconut, no red berries. I do get some headache though. Not for me.
