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.

Got this today. I smelled this on someone and they literally had a ten foot trail. I don't know how it's possible, but few fragrances do that. So I bought it at my local bed bath store. It's still available. Beautiful scent, not beastly, but good. This has the cardamom and vanilla along with the musk. Very nice.

Absolutely irresistible, I can't get enough of this scent. I have it in lotion but I want the cologne. Definitely good for a date night; I couldn't imagine wearing it during the day personally. Good for all year round, but it works a bit better for those colder months.

Of the soapy scents on the market this one is the ultimate utility. Always appropriate to smell like it. Its a cheapie so you dont have to worry about using the crap out of it. Very very inoffensive. Perfect for the office or for a date.

This is a mass-appealing masculine scent. It's fresher than the notes make it seem, but still darker, giving it weight. It's quite pleasant; perfect for social events. Not exactly a cheap option, but still affordable.

WOW! I'm BLOWN AWAY! So simple, yet so sexy and comforting... if a man I knew smelled like that, I'd be at his heat points 24/7. Do I need this? I might get it, damn!

Love this masculine but sweet scent. Bought it for my boyfriend. It’s got strong notes of vanilla, and I love to cuddle up to my man when he’s wearing this.

I actually kinda like this fragrance, I'm thinking of duping it with galaxolide, vanillin, and some spices and make it beast mode

It is a nice cheapie and a simple fragrance and I have gotten some pretty intense compliments from this.

I love Nöir. It has a very musky clean smell.

This is a surprisingly fantastic fragrance. I worked at Bath and Body works for a year doing inventory and stocking/etc. Of course I’d get to test out all their male frags when I was on the floor stocking the shelves and you also get free products (gratis) once a month, etc. I actually didn’t even know they made cologne or scents for men. While Ocean is the most popular, Noir was very new when I started working there and I loved the marketing, kind of mysterious and sexy. The scent itself is really good, much better than I expected. It’s a mix between warm and fresh, a near perfect balance almost. Initial spray you get a crisp, well rounded freshness, and detect notes of amber and vanilla which gives this it’s sultry, smoky vibe as opposed to just generic “fresh”. The drydown you get smoky wood and vanilla (almost slightly powdery), slight musk and spice, yet still very pleasant. Definitely gives off a night time, sexy, mysterious vibe, but lacks the sophistication of something like YSL La Nuit or an Oud fragrance. Great for autumn and winter, it’s safe and crowd pleasing. I got the shower gel and body spray too, all great products. I just love the name too, and the name really represents the scent well! The overall character reminds me just a bit of Armani Code, they seem to both represent a similar mood/vibe. Best thing is it’s cheap, but doesn’t really smell cheap. A winner for me. 7.75/10

This was actually my first fragrance. I was going through designer ones in a store, but honestly couldn’t really find any that I loved, but then I walked into Bath and Body Works and like the scent and picked it up and I really like it. I love how the cardamom and musk blend together, and from that I get a detective working at night almost. The sweet part of it really adds on to that as well. It is definitely a bit synthetic, but the synthetic part is very minuscule, so I’d say don’t worry about it. For $50, this honestly smells really, really good. I can’t comment on the longevity or projection because I know my skin is just bad with all fragrances on that, but it lasts a decent bit on fabrics. Really good for a cheap starter imo.

This straightforward, unisex fragrance is musky with vanilla undertones. For men, I associate this dark scent more with romantic settings or with fall or winter usage. It's not something I'd recommend they wear to the office. It's a decent scent, but not particularly complex or intriguing. As with other BBW fragrances, the sillage and longevity are on the weaker side, so be prepared to reapply it after a few hours. This is more like an eau de toillette than a perfume.

Really nice my girl likes it too, I personally think its good for whenever but mostly night time its a decent fragrance. There are fragrances out there that I love bath and body works doesn't have any but if there are two fragrances that I had to pick that I liked the most I would pick My signature and this. Its very masculine and amazing for its price I guess. Unless you got like no money don't buy bath and body works. 6/10 JUST cause of the price

I got this for my brother (who is VERY picky) and he likes it as a casual, sweet scent. It’s not too heavy and has sweetness but is still distinctly masculine. Good and inoffensive at a great price. My dad is even pickier, but he also liked it and occasionally steals my brothers spray. The vanilla, cardamom, and musk are all equally present and longer for a good while.

Yesterday, I tried both of them at Bath & Body Works and Sephora. Noir smells about 25% like Armani Code Parfum. It's a nice, subtle scent that's perfect for the office, meetings, church, whatever, gave me this nostalgic feeling when my relatives used to give me BBW stuff about 10 years ago, this was one of BBW's original scents back then!
