S.T. Dupont Noir

this fragrance is truley wonderfull ! it is very attractive and troubling . as mention by "BIG" below it makes u wan to go for more. i sprayed it on my wrist and i keep sniffing it then putting my hand down then my nose is sending signals to my brain I WANT MORE I WANT MORE !!! its sweet but lighty to moderate. its classy sweet not pungent , candy or sometimes what i call silly sweet !! it classy and elegant. theres something fruity/flowery about it and thats where the attractive part comes. thats y u want to sniff ur had because u wanto to decide whether its flowery or fruity !! the vetiver is in the background of the scent in the drydown. it coulde have been more of my tatse without the vetiver which i dont like much. the nutmeg is sensed for seconds every now and then , im not sure why its here because its not very strong in presence ! its very attractive and seductive to extremes . i love it !! its longeivity is about 6,7 hours which is very good. i had very good reaction with this one . st.dupont hit it well and micheal girard did a fine job :) i must say it smells expensive and you will be unique , i ended up buying it 20 minutes when i left the store ! 10/10

Green freshness, slightly spicy, slightly dry. Overall it's an amazing perfume. It has a spicy opening and then when it dries down it's a green freshness. 2-3 hours later it has a slight sweet minty fragrance, especially if you are outside and the weather gets warm. I love how the smell profile changes every 2 hours.

It took me 17 years to discover this black gem.. I see it as a personal signature fragrance.. Safe.. Suitable for office and work.. also for the outings in summer and winter..for evening. Truly wonderful. With acceptable strong performance.. I hope it won't be stopped in the future !.. 9.5/10 ..

too strong at the beginning but after that it changes into warm,beautiful and it works all day in my skin

excellent scent by dupont and very sexy as well !

My first review I wrote here in 02/24/09. Today, 05/11/09, after using S.T. Dupont Noir almost everyday at work, I can give a more strong opinion about it. I bought the first bottle mostly because two reasons: 1) price, it was inexpensive (so, a mistake couldn’t be so terrible); and, 2) the very good reviews I read since then, here and there. My first impression when I first tried it, was that the scent itself had an aroma kinda cheap and rather generic (maybe that’s the reason why some would say that it looks with many others scents, and why it could evokes feelings of angry). But this impression, at least for me, vanishes quickly, as well the short strong (but not overwhelming) opening. Maybe I’m not describing it in the right way, but the opening looks a little cold, fresh, straight, and must be because the mint. After that opening, what I have is a pleasant, really confortable smell, close to the skin. It’s not sweet as candy, flower, but a calm smell that seems to come from (?) nutmeg, lavander, cloves or other notes. It has been fitted very well with my chemistry, much more than the many fragrances I tried and bought lately, which includes brands like Bvlgari, Versace, Armani, Lacoste and even Chanel (in this case, Allure Edition Banche). Until I find another that I would like to use as daily/work wearing, this is proving to be a super safe choice for me, despite that relative common character. Doesn’t smell “expensive”, but I can see qualities. Today I even like the opening. The longevity is very good, and has an interesting point: after the cold and straight beginning has gone, a warm smell follows me during a long period of the day. Finally, what I see, and I can note this very well specially on my shirt, is that a cold character came back. Surely masculine! But do not get carried away because this huge review; there is nothing spectacular here; actually, it's quite common. You definitely must try before buy. As for me, I simply can not dislike this fragrance “:¬)

I expected this fragrance to be indeed dark and sweet, unusual exactly like the uncommon mix of notes. Well, I misjudged the balance of notes. I can hardly smell hazelnut and cloves behind a mask of vetiver/nutmeg/lavender. Notes blends together in a spicy-aromatic breeze with predominant lavender - it's cold composition. Feels chic though. I surprisingly find it only slightly different (deeper) from Lanvin l'Homme Sport (2009) because of woody base, but lavender + extras in LHS mimicks it nicely. Back to S.T. Dupont Noir, it's a fresh, chic composition for evening in warm season which lasts fairly. Not my choice, though since I own LHS which prefer and cannot resist impression that it's "Noir" but not mysterious, more like sad and somber. Romantic, some would say.

Very nice office friendly lavender scent with a bit of spices. It comes out roaring straight off the atomizer but soon it settles to a well above the average well blended designer scent. Smells more expensive than the price tag. Not a clone of anything and actually not even reminiscent of any other frag...maybe a bit like Baldessarini but then again not. Minty fresh lavender and mild spices from the top and dries down to a calm - slightly soapy - lavender scent. Unique but not a WOW scent. Glad to have it though...god for situations where you want to smell nice without annoying anyone or announcing yourself. Longevity moderate and sillage moderate to intimate.

Just got the full bottle today and was hoping it's not another of many blind buy disappointments. It turns out it's not ! This is a very good fragrance! Not that dark but more like thick and sugary hazy. I saw a review below comparing this to Lanvin Sport and I couldn't agree more. Not only does it smell like Lanvin Homme Sport but also like its father. Like a fair mix in between the two. Very nice and possibly better value than either, even considering the tacky bottle. I can't speak of performance or longevity yet as this is my first day with this fragrance but I hope you get the picture as far as the smell profile goes. Recommended !

Understated, airy and very pleasant scent which is perfect for the cooler weather (wouldn't really show in cold weather) like early spring and fall. Sillage is moderate (arm's length the first hour or so with 6 sprays) as well as longevity (about 4-5 hours with 6 sprays). Lavender plays the key role but I can definitely smell the hazelnut and nutmeg swimming around in the scent as it dries down. This is an excellent choice for ppl in their 20-30s which is versatile enough to use for most of the year except for maybe scorching hot summer days and it smells unique, pleasant and chic enough without being too synthetic.

Lovely night cologne. Sweet, spicy and seductive. Spicy lavender opening is the best part. The lavender is so natural. Cardomom plays it part perfecly staying there for about 2 hours. After 2 hours the scent is very faint with sweet hazelnut. The fragrance is shouting "hey I am a sexy man" for the first 30 mins then evolves to a safe sweet men's night cologne. Longevity could be better though. Sillage: 7/10 Longevity: 5/10 Scent: 8/10 Overall a very good choice for night-outs

I picked this up recently at a small boutique . It is a pleasant and a well balanced mix of lavender with cashmere wood after it settles. I can just detect a very faint aroma of Vetiver and hazelnut in the first 20 min. The fragrance dries back well and it has a staying power of 5-7 hours. Very masculine, not over powering at all. Not your typical men's fragrances which is either a citrus or a very musky base... I find it excellent for the evening's. I would recommend it

This is a very nice fragrance! Lavender is the main note and with the rest of the notes makes a fresh aromatic fragrance! I do not see any hazelnuts or strong spices but I don't have a problem with that. A clear glass bottle with a light yellow - green juice would be the real picture of it - instead of a black bottle with the name Noir. I like it a lot and the price £15 approx. makes you want it even more!

Daha yeni testledim. Koku basit bilindik orta ve son notalarda traş losyonu gibi olmaya başladı kalıcılık belli değil ama çok durcağını sanmıyorum.. Koku:7/10 Kalıcılık:Na (testing) I just tested it. The smell has started to be like aftershave in the familiar middle and last notes, the permanence is not certain, but I don't think it will last long.. Fragrance: 7/10 Longivity:Na (testing)

Just got another bottle of this lovely juice. First of all, it's unique. It's woody, nutty and the dry down is a lovely lavender and other florals. Lasting power and silage are good. If I were pressed to compare to another, I would say the nearest is Secret Mission Baldessarini for Men. Having said that, this one is woodier and more potent.

Underrated gem. I'm wonedring why it's not a popular fragrance cause it's really great. Everything with this fragarce is amazing. Price, performance, Uniqueness, Scent. Not the best but it deserves more, I'm sure if it was from a well-known brand all youtube reviewers would hype this one.

A different kind of fragrance and a bit wierd but really nice too. Sort of woody, fruity, spicy and fresh, can't smell hazelnut at all. It's seems to be a complex scent. Staying power is OK. It's a very pleasant men's fragrance with a nice dry-down and totally has its own character.

S.T. Dupont Noir S.T. Dupont for men is a very good one , it has a good sweet Colling effect on my skin in humble opinion , it goes all year around. Longevity : 6 - 8 hours. Projection : 2 - 3 hours. Smell : very good. Bottle Design : average. Price : affordable.

Expecting a punch but turns out to be a gentle breeze kind. IMO it is between Armani Attitude and Bvglari Black, far less presence though. In summary, one of the “barber shop fresh” type and want of sharpness. Beautiful glass bottle!

Nice fragance, with lot of notes, in my case the botom lines i remindme berrys fruit, this is te possible reason for some people say is like womens fragance. For my it ́s ok and recomended, plus is last duration

Amazing, defferent and heavy! Very unique scent but only for some misterious characters who love the time after midnight. I love the whole black aura of the fragrance.

I just don't like this stuff. It looks pretty cool on the shelf, which is a good thing because every time I try it again I am reminded what a mistake this blind buy turned out to be. On the shelf it will stay. This stuff smells reminiscent of the sort of bad air freshener that automatic dispensers spray out in truck stop lavatories. Chemical lavender with a trace of instantly disappearing mint constitutes the opening. There is a moment as the scent transitions to the mid notes when a decent nutmeg emerges, but it is quickly swamped by an ocean of saccharine sweetness and more chemical notes that may be left over from the opening or be part of the mid. Either way, the smell is cloying and border line revolting. Dry down is another mess. There are cashmeran-ish aromachemicals in abundance. I get none of the hazelnut that is supposed to be here, although it may lurk beneath the chemical soup that makes up the base. The listed vetiver is missing in action and were it noticeable, it would be a disastrous addition to the overly sweet remainder of this juice. This product is cheaply priced and you get what you pay for here. There are decent fragrances available from S.T. duPont. Noir is not among them. Don't waste your money.

I'm not a fan of this one. I was expecting something more gourmand. The opening notes are fresh and spicy, almost aquatic, then segues into a very spicy heart strong with nutmeg and cloves playing with the cardamom and lavender. I hardly smell the hazelnut and cashmere wood, only the remnants its spicy notes and of some vetiver and a sour patchouli. It totally went wrong on me. I'm having a hard time associating this with Dupont scents. It really smelled cheap on me.

This is a boring and cheap smelling fragrance. I like the opening but then it becomes awfulyy boring. I guess all ST dupont fragrances share the same notes.

one of the most vilest scents I have ever tried. Way too many scents and tones on an opening spray. Just awful.

You don’t expect much from a $2 estate sale find, but Saint Dupont Noir surprised me in the best way. I sprayed it for the first time today, and the opening came in strong, sharp, minty, almost a little aggressive. But give it a few minutes... because the dry down? That’s where this fragrance really shows out. The mint softens and blends into this smooth lavender accord that feels fresh, clean, and quietly powerful. Everything melts together in a way that’s honestly hard to explain, it just works. It’s the kind of scent that keeps pulling you back in. I literally couldn’t stop smelling my wrist. To me, this smells like a man who is confident without trying. Strong, a little mysterious, but still polished and put together. There’s something both fresh and sensual about it—clean, but with depth. It leans rich, masculine, and undeniably attractive. This one is a hidden gem. Easy pickup for me... now the mission is finding another bottle somewhere.

I tried this one not long after it was released and at the time lavender bothered me so I couldn't stand it. Not long ago, I was able to acquire a partial bottle in a swap for a backup bottle of a "cheapo," so I figured, why not? Thanks to some of the reviews here, my interest was revived, or else I probably wouldn't have gone ahead with the swap! Yes, it begins with obvious lavender that is not appealing to me (though it's not super soapy), but then the drydown is a touch sweet, spicy, and there's a light musk to give it some projection. I don't get clear wood or vetiver, and only a hint of hazelnut (the mint is more like a slight background hum). There also seems to be a bit of vanilla. Now I wouldn't call it great, but at this point it is pleasant, and at least somewhat unique. At current prices, it's worth considering if you like this idea.

This lesser known gem scores well in all areas - scent, projection, longevity and price. A rich, formal, masculine scent, lives up to its name 'noir'. It's sweet, mysterious and confident, best for night/formal wear for men 30+. Definitely not a teenage or casual daytime scent. Longevity is excellent, like all day, though the projection will die down towards the end as expected. The main notes I can smell are the cashmere wood, lavender and licorice. When I first smelled it it reminded me of Hugo Boss Baldessarini which I owned about 10 years ago (though whether that fragrance smells the same today I don't know). I got a 100ml bottle for about 16 GBP in a perfume shop sale. A real bargain, there are lesser fragrances out there for much more.

This fragrance might be not the most sophisticated I have tried and not from most smooth synthetics, yet it is has bright spirit, easy-going vibe, it has this appealing young optimistic masculinity of some guys with good sense of humour. Spiciness at the opening blends with cashmere wood and lavender with touch of mint - so it is soft-spicy and bit herbal-woody, - great for dinners out on holidays or for clubbing. Somehow S.T. Dupont house manages to create nice scents for little money, good for them. I stopped counting how many people complimented it, literally every single girlfriend wanted it for her partner straight away.

NOIR ... is your name, your style, your personality, your strength, your attitude, and, above all, the way he is. This scent is magnificent. With extreme longevity and a stunning projection, this is a scent for determined men and with excellent taste. The combination of their olfactory notes is of extremely good taste ... excellent. The bottle is just perfect. The exclusivity of the brand in the world of perfumes gives it a touch even more perfect. This is surely one of the perfumes that I like most. I recommend.

S.T. Dupont Noir is a very nice fragrance, successfully combining lavander and mint during its opening and hazelnut and vetiver on its base. The packaging, as said before, is a masterpiece. The black box with its shining title and the bottle full of these diamond-looking things. Really nice and eye-catching. Although it stays close to skin during its whole life, it lasts pretty well. Highly recommended for office wear or when you don't want a fragrance that announces your arrival from miles away.

ادکلنی با بوی شیرین و ترش که نسخه ضعیف شده بالداسارینی هوگو باس است.منتها این کمی ترش است و نت هایی از گیاهان و سبز بودن را در خود دارد.ولی در کل یک کپی خوب از بالداسارینی هوگو باس است.مناسب چهار فصل است .بوی زیاد جالبی ندارد.نمیپسندمش.دوام نسبتا خوب ولی پخش بوی زیر متوسط است.ماندگاری:5.5/10 پخش بو:5.5/10 متفاوت بودن:5/10 ارزش خرید:3/10

i still can't discern the individual notes, but the overall result is more than ok. This is the type of fragrance that intrigues you and makes you come back for more. Don't be put off by the initial soury smell, let it evolve on your skin. It turns into something magical.

God. I truly hate this community. Why nobody points out the obvious? This smells like a dark shaving foam. Not hazelnut, no redundant sweetness. Mature, classy, dark. Just point out the obvious, jesus.

Fantastic, excellent staying power and sillage, it ́s sweet in a perfect point and mix dry wood with soft fresh notes. For me, looks like a very well balanced oriental fragrance.

Great scent! very masculine and powering but not overwhelming and lasts a long time. Love the packaging... it was actually the reason why I bought it!

Do you like the idea of a load of lavender and iso e super? Then give this one a try. I had a sample a few years back and that was my impression.

this fragrance, IMHO, smells like a lipstick. lol Nice sillage and longevity, but is not too masculine for me. 7/10

Great Perfume for the price, woody amber smell is magnificent ,the longevity is not bad, yes i will buy it again.

looks like a pilar in Bowser castle ( the bad dragon in super mario bros. 3 ) is a good fragance ..nothing more

Wonderfull! So masculine and seductive. The Blanc for women also very very good. I love them both so much!

The top and middle notes are very close to Animale Black for men.

good fragance, good sillage, good longevity

Amazing one cool and deep at the same time
