Sexual Noir For Women

I wore this all last winter and absolutely loved it. I just went through my fragrances to pull forward my fall and winter faves. I hadn't realized how low I was on this. IDK if I will be getting another FB this year but I wouldn't be opposed to it, just kinda went crazy with new fall/winter frags already. I decided that today was going to be a day that I wore it and I definitely agree that I smell strawberry no where in this. Also the sillage isn't great, and the legs on this girl are sadly short. That out of the way, I really really love this fragrance. It is definitely a sexy scent and it also has a youthful vibrant aire to it that I really enjoy. It's like a warm sexy but fun fragrance. The patch in it is not heavy handed once so ever, honestly I wish it was a bit heavier though. I would love if they made an intense version of this. Something that would up it's sillage and lasting game, while not losing the vibrant fun note that it has. When I got this last year I got my hubby the men's version, usually when frags have a men's version it usually has better legs and sillage than the female version, with this that wasn't the case. It seemed to have the same sorta areas that needed work. The scent itself 7/10 Sillage 4/10 Lasting power 5.5/10 If this profile seems like it's something you'd enjoy I can almost guarantee you will. Just a tip though, if possible grab a gift set with a lotion. I think that could help make it more of a bang for your buck.

Fruity, woody, & sweet with a bit of a masculine edge. The strawberry, lime & vanilla make it sweet. The vetiver & patchouli lends a masculine quality to it that provides great balance. Once it dries down completely you can smell the amber which adds a nice warmth. I really like this perfume, the only thing that will keep me from repurchasing is the strength. It seems a bit watered down. I wish every note was turned up several more notches; that would turn this fragrance into a staple for me because the scent itself is so versatile & can work during any season, day or night. I sprayed 4 sprays onto my wrist & already after 20 minutes it’s become faint. It’s there, it’s just leaves me wanting more. EDIT** I have to add, I bought the Intense version in hopes that it would be just that, more intense & therefore punchier & longer lasting. I’ll be honest, there’s not much of a noticeable difference. Not in strength or longevity. It almost has a rosey note in it too for some reason. Which I hate. So there’s that.

On me, this perfume is very masculine. At the initial spray I get the sweetness that most refer to, but the dry down reminds me of cologne. Luckily, I absolutely love it. I’ve gotten more into unisex scents lately so even though I was expecting a girly, sweet scent, I still really enjoy it. Lasts pretty well on skin, I can still smell it by the end of the work day. I think it’s more of a sexy evening scent but I imagine if you’re someone who’s dna amps the sweetness of the scent you may have a different opinion. Definitely not blind buy safe imo, but I like the surprise and plan on buying a full bottle when my scent bird decant is empty!

My boyfriend picked this out for me on a date, so it is one of my favorite fragrances. The bottle is their iconic navel shape and it comes with a precious black bow. Sexual Noir is a sweet, sweet scent. The big and juicy strawberries in the top note, orchid, and vanilla base blend together to make a thick and smooth concoction of floral gourmand perfume. The throw is absolutely amazing on Sexual Noir, it seems to leave a trail that people have found me to complement me on on more than one occasion. I wouldn’t suggest it to anyone who doesn’t like heavy fragrances, because I can see how this one could be headache inducing.

My boyfriend just bought this perfume for me for Mother's Day. It's easy to wear (as a former Viva La Juicy wearer) but more importantly he picked this out and bought it because he said it smells great, sexy but still playful to him sooooo looks like I'll be keeping a bottle of this on hand from now on lol. I feel like it's a nice combo of Viva La Juicy meets Flowerbomb. A little strong when first sprayed but dry down is great, wish longevity was a little better but it makes me smile that he picked it out 🥰 I have a handful of perfumes I'd love to do a swap if anyone has a bottle they want to part with

This has been a love at first sniff for me. It was a blind buy, in the beginning of my getting into fragrance. It has an enchanting sweet fragrance with a nice arousing amber behind the sweetness. It blends beautifully and I find myself constantly sniffing my own air when I wear this scent as it easily picks up in the wind. I also find this scent stays really well in my hair. If you enjoyed the burberry her elixir, although it does not smell like the burberry her elixir, the scent profile is similar but just much more ambery and woody.

I overlooked its complexity at the JC Penny perfume aisle. The name makes it sound more sensual than it is. It's mature in a womanly way, but it attunes itself to you. It enhances what you are. The atomizer quality and the soft, round bottle are very pleasing. I bought the "intense" version because it's supposed to last longer. It gives it enough time to mix with my own scent.

if you want to know exactly what this perfume smells like, chop up some strawberries & sprinkle them with brown sugar. i guarantee it smells EXACTLY the same. I would know- I compared both the scents. this is one of my summer signature scents & probably my favorite! my boyfriend will NOT GET OFF OF ME when i wear this. 10/10

This doesn’t smell like flower bomb at ALL. flowebpmb is extremely powdery and this is very sweet and dark

I’ve had a sample of this for ages but had no desire to try it. When I did finally take it for a spin, with no expectations, I found that I actually really like it! It reminds me of Mon Paris but a bit sweeter and with a lighter dose of patchouli. Somewhere between the Mon Paris EDT and the EDP. As luck would have it I wore this on Valentines Day which seems perfectly fitting, like a romantic cuddle while eating strawberries, just the right amount of cute and cheerful sweetness, but with enough of the “rougher” notes to keep it grounded, mature, sexy and “noir-ish.” I have now worn it several days in a row with great satisfaction, made all the more satisfying by the mixed reviews on here and the feeling of having it “all to myself.” I’m happy.

I am surprised that I like this one because when I first sprayed it on my hand I did not at all. Started out a sweet mess and dried down to almost a men's cologne smell. Maybe it was just my chemistry that day? I don't know but I am glad I gave this a second try. It does have a sweet pop to start out with but it changes quickly to more of a floral.. kind of like Mon Paris. Wait a while and the base notes are not really sweet at all but more like refreshing. I think that is the vetiver but I find it quite pleasant and not cloying at all. Seems to have pretty good lasting power too.

i didn't get the strawberry note as strong as some other people seemed to; i did get a lot of fruity and floral notes. definitely get the orange and sweet pea which i enjoy. the dry down seems to bring out just more of that without a lot of change. it's quite a sweet fragrance and i much prefer things that are sweet with an additional deeper note which this does not seem to. good for day or night, and i could imagine this is quite nice layered with other perfumes, perhaps a fresh one or a woody one. i like it, but i don't love it. would wear again though!

Sweet and very feminine. It's a grown up sort of sweet. The fruity top notes are smoothed out with the florals, jasmine and patchouli, and the woody base notes to make it a more mature sweetness. The longevity is average. The sillage is fairly close to the skin so this can be good for scent-free places.

No idea where people are getting the strawberry from I do not find that at all in this scent. It's a warm patchouli, vanilla, amber with hints of floral...it really is a dupe for Flowerbomb! I like this one a lot. I wish the longevity was longer on this one.

This pairs really well with YSL Mon Paris. This one is almost unisex/more feminine and the Mon Paris makes it a bit better IMO. The notes are similar so they compliment each other. Give it a try!

i can't say i smell the strawberry note very much at all, it's mostly patchouli, zesty citrus, flowery & a hint of vanilla to my nose but definitely not unpleasant! very mature and feminine.

this definitely leans masculine, smells like a man who just showered and smells real good. kinda hot. why am i turned on????

a fresh, yummy strawberry and floral. would be a perfect spring time scent. i would buy this in the future~

It smells good, definitely not what I usually go for or try. Very sweet, strawberries-and-cream quality when you’ve just sprayed it which I don’t personally enjoy too much, then goes spicier almost which is a lot nicer to me? Idk. I wouldn’t get a full bottle, but I’m sure it’s someone’s fave

Opens with sweet fruit. The florals mix nicely with patchouli and the bass notes. A nice choice if you like patchouli.
