Noir Distillé

this is my GIRL, this has been my signature scent for years. i've gone through several bottles of this fragrance as a young adult who can't afford to drop hundreds of dollars on perfume (as much as i want to)! this smells so much nicer and more refined than its price. absolutely beautiful warm vanilla that almost smells like a nostalgic county fair on me because it turns kind of sweet/salty on my skin. i usually don't love boozy notes but it fits this fragrance so well. it's one of those perfumes that i've used so consistently that i haven't given her an opportunity to become nostalgic yet, lol. it's completely inoffensive while still smelling unique and interesting. coffee/tea lover, cheeky, knows how to have fun, warm and affectionate, artist, hot girl. i LOVE noir distille. although i think i've done it to death so i'm searching for a new signature as i approach my mid-twenties and can afford something "nicer", although i will still probably reach for this regularly for the next few years!

This may be one of the most underrated perfumes on the market. Its very linear and simple, but I haven’t been able to find a single dupe. It is the most feminine cozy and beautiful sweet coconut whiskey scent. the coconut really smoothes out the booze to make this a crowd pleaser while also being very unique. Ive gotten an insane amount of compliments on this but my only gripe is it doesnt last!!! Which makes sense because of the price point but id pay $100 for this exact scent if it just lasted longer. I overspray and use vaseline and Ill get give or take 4 hours out of it. Very amazing for layering and adding either complexity to vanilla fragrances or to make more spicy perfumes more wearable. I adore this paired with Jazz Club by Replica. If anyone has a better performing dupe of this fragrance please message me!

I just got this and i really like it! It has a great casual feel but still makes me feel put together. Sometimes i just want a fragrance to be there like an accessory, it is like the last finishing touch i put on before i go out, and this is one of those that is like your trusty hoop earrings or fave bangle bracelets. It like helps you to pull it all together even if it is just jeans and a sweater. You arent trying too hard, you arent doing anything for others, you just want to look good, smell good, feel good. This leans feminine i think just a tad, but if a guy wore this around me i would fall in love instantly!

Ok im not even kidding when I say This is the best perfume EVER , im a guy and I love unique scents and when I found this I fell in love . The first thing you smell is a nice rich amber scent mixed with vanilla than it get richer after contact on skin a deep black coconut sent. for 24$ it has a nice atomizer and a long lasting life. Id say it last about 8h on me !!!!

This is a cheap, simple boozy vanilla, and I love it. On me, the vanilla is warm and syrupy, undercut by the sharpness of whiskey. The coconut is toasted and dry, giving a cozy impression, rather than a fresh, tropical one. Linear, but delicious. To my surprise, this lasts upward of 8 hours on my skin, with moderate sillage. Perfect for cold autumn or winter weather.

This has been my signature fragrance for a while and for good reason! Its the perfect boozy vanilla, its actually like a more feminine version of jazz club. You really can't beat the price point as well. The whiskey notes are strong so definitely keep that in mind if you're blind buying because I can see that not being everyone's thing

Smells almost identical to bath and body Wicked Vanilla Woods somehow. BBW is a little better rounded I think, the whiskey in this can seem a little rough to some. But I am actually a big fan of this fragrance and have multiple bottles. It has decent lasting power. I can't really smell coconut at all in this thankfully.

The perfect boozy vanilla fragrance with a hint of coconut at a fabulous price point. LOVE LOVE LOVE this. It reminds me of LaBelle (JPG) without the pear or floral notes. This is AHMAZZZZING and I looked high and low for this very scent...finding it here! YES YES YES!

This has been my signature scent for date night, fall, and winter. It’s delicious and cozy in a sexy and comforting way. My partner is absolutely obsessed and will spray it on the bed when I’m out of town.

One of my all-time faves for fall/winter, perfectly warm and ambery, very rich

A nice warm vanilla gourmand. Very sexy. Men go crazy when I wear this one.

I think 🤔 I like this?? I don’t dislike it but it’s very different from my normal style of fragrance. I don’t typically gravitate towards gourmands. So, this is a bit too sweet for my preferences but also is very unique to my collection. I think it’s interesting and cozy but the sweetness is a bit over the top for me and makes me feel a bit nauseous. I feel like a gourmand lover would really enjoy this, it’s pretty but too saccharine for me, I would have to layer it with something more earthy or woody to tone it down a bit. Or maybe a bit of rose. If you enjoy a sweet boozy vanilla gourmand, you’ll probably enjoy it.

I’ve been wearing this as often as possible since I bought it. I’m not a big sweet gourmand perfume person but I think this has converted me. It has pretty good staying power for the price. This scent reminds me of By The Fireplace, but I’ve seen reviewers compare UO’s Hazelnut L’hun to By The Fireplace so I might have to pick that one up to compare and contrast. I’m not a fan of every fragrance in this line, but for $18 they’re a great deal.

I just got a haul of a few different fragrances from UO. I didn't have high hopes, but after testing this one, I like it the best out of what I picked up. It's a warm, slightly boozy vanilla with a touch of coconut. This is a unisex vanilla as I could see a man wearing this too. It would be good to layer with other fragrances as this dries down to a nice soft vanilla musk.

I started wearing this as a bedtime scent during a terrible time in my life. Now it smells like blame to me. Goodbye Noir Distillé. You were wonderfully boozy back when you were still wonderful.

Feminine, warm, sweet. My s/o wears this and it’s very nice on them. Not my personal scent taste but it’s a rich, pleasant scent.

Boozy vanilla. Smells like something flambe. Not usually my scent profile, but I like it. Perfect for a night out with ur s/o.

Very heavy on whisky and vanilla scents. Very sharp, definitely something for an afternoon in the fall. Not my favorite but I'm wearing it till the bottle is used up. I would buy this if you're introducing yourself to amber scents, nothing too strong but a good welcome to it. It's a very average perfume but can definitely be overwhelming.

As is tradition with everything from LMG, the longevity is piss-poor. At least this one projects. My old manager started wearing it and I wondered how such an evil person could smell so pretty lol

It's a vanilla coconut scent, but not sweet or sunscreeny-- it's a little boozy and powdery, almost. Very unisex. It does smell a little cheap before the dry down.

Why does the initial 5 minutes smell like nail polish on me? The drydown is nice though.

Can’t smell it at all after a few minutes. Abysmal.

Too much coconut! Something about the opening of this is giving powder and baby, which is not what I was expecting. Why is this giving J&J baby shampoo?? I think it's the coconut-amber combo, and something floral they haven't listed. I'm also getting a palo santo note. Hopefully it's better on, will test on skin and edit. Dry down is giving chewy butterscotch candy, and COCONUT. There's also this cheap rubbing alcohol smell that just won't evaporate. Very femme, suave coconut hair care products, and amber.

Way more masculine than I was expecting. The amber is very dark and cologne-like. The vanilla and coconut are present but don’t lend any sweetness, just a powdery note. The whiskey comes across as smokiness which I really don’t care for. I was expecting amber vanilla or vanilla creme with a burst of booze, but that’s not what this is at all. It’s oddly powdery and masculine at the same time. A big no for me.

One of Le Monde Gourmands most unique scents! At first the the amber and whiskey can really hit you, I personally really love that, but it dries into a subtle but gorgeously rich vanilla--coconut. This is one of those scents that I love to specifically wear on my neck and wrists because it's a very seductive grown scent in my opinion. Its definitely different so do your research on it first, especially because this house I not known for incredibly long longevity BUT Le Monde Gourmand is so affordable that I do not mind and even see myself buying another one down the road when this one is done. I bought this one at Urban Outfitters but I cannot remember if you can also smell it in person but Im almost sure you can!

I just got this scent and I love it! On my skin I noticed a little more of a smokey/spicy note than I initially did and I am not disappointed. It actually smells better on my skin than in the bottle. It also last a lot longer for me than a lot of people have noted, so I think it may just work with my skin chemistry but not sure. I am very picky when it comes to perfumes and this one is not overly sweet because the whiskey helps ground it a little more. Overall it is one of those scents that just makes you feel more put together. It is also oddly very nostalgic for me. I personally think that it could smell amazing on men and women but probably leans a tad more feminine due to the sweetness.

Sexy tanning oil vibes, specifically one in a dark brown bottle. I thought this would be a winter frag but it’s giving beachy night out. Maybe it’s the caramelized boozy essence but it makes me think of brown sugar and the sun beating down on browned skin. I’m getting pina colada with a dark rum floater. Now this does smell kinda cheap but I don’t mind that because it’s cute cheap like in a 2008 club scene way. Britney’s Gimme More playing, runny mascara, everyone wearing Viva La Juicy 🫶

This fragrance is horrendous. Its not smooth, its in no way any type of classy and it smells like a mash of chemicals. The only thing this has going for it is the fact it lingers in the air Forever. Its a harsh review but this actually offends my nose in a way Very few fragrances do.

I didn't love this one. The coconut was way too strong, it read very boring on my skin and it's a very thin formulation so there's not real impact, sillage or impression left. It's fine at the price, but this is nothing I want to smell like personally.

The only le monde gourmand scent I can smell days later on my clothes. This is easily my most complimented scent of 2024. It smells like a sweet espresso con panna has been laced with shots of whiskey. Delectable. ☕️🥛🥃

I don't think I like this ...... more review to come I need to experiment with her. but the thing is when I do that I end up coming around and loving her anyway.... let's see if I can hold strong

Wore this today bc I feel like it's a good transition from Summer to Fall. It's a sweet every day scent, it's super pretty. It performs well in heat. Very cute girl.

Similar to Zara rich warm addictive scent profile except this has no tobacco in it.

This really does dry down to Sweet Tooth.
