Noir

I was shopping along when I saw this. I thought while I was in B&BW how cool it was that they had something displayed front and center for men. I'm a mom of two grown sons. I thought this was actually a really good scent. I was a pleasantly surprised. Especially for my 28 year old who is trying to explore new scents but just cannot seem to get away from all of the aquatics and freshies. As he desperately wants to love Ouds, incense and leather scents. But, really isn't there just yet. As I (slight of hand,) introduced him to Lucky Scent and samples. I saw this BBW Noir displayed next to Ocean and some other cool-water type. I went for this and Graphite. This, the Noir. Is actually really nice.Very smooth, nothing sharp, or obnoxious. There's no way you could go wrong with this. Nöir can be almost ethereal if applied with a gentle hand. It's a young enough to be "not your grandfather's" scent. But it's manages to be mature. In the sense that you would be taken serious. Not asked to stay where you're at until mall security locate your parents. Though it's Nothing groundbreaking. But, it IS very nice PS. It "REMINDS" me of the (original) Perry Ellis Black. That really nice one. I can't tell you exactly which one. Because there's five-hundred flankers.. lol

Got this for my man as a body spray some months ago. Smells amazing, but doesn’t last long, and doesn’t project as strong as other fragrances he owns. Got the body cream yesterday and it lasts sooo much on his skin. Given that I love the scent so much, I thought of trying it on my skin also. And let me tell you it smells divine, it can pass as a unisex scent effortlessly. Cozy vanilla with musky, spicy undertones, great for a walk in the cold weather with leaves rustling around, or for cuddling time at night before sleep. I might buy it for myself also when fall comes.

Really comforting scent with an edge of masculinity. Opens with a sugary vanillic spiciness that reminds me a bit of Perry Ellis Black Vanilla Absolute, an underrated gem. Noir quickly dried down to a smooth, attractive and addictive musk. I kept getting whiffs of the application spot on my arm for hours after spraying it in-store. I think I’ll grab a bottle of it for the Fall season.

Been wearing this since 2017 and as a woman I’m completely obsessed and think this can for sure be unisex. It’s not as cloying and “in your face” as some men’s fragrances can be, and I think that lends to the heavy musk element. It’s a very sexy, sultry, night fragrance that is absolutely intoxicating. The amount of compliments I’ve gotten from this is also insane!

I have received this as a gift on two occasions and I enjoy it very much. Its soft, gentle vanilla is complimented by masculine sensibility, giving it a tender, nostalgic and melancholy appeal. I usually find BBW’s fragrances loud, which works well in shower gels and body creams, but Noir is well-balanced; just right. Their best male scent, IMHO.
