Sniff and shiver
Spritz a little on your wrist, give it 10 seconds for the notes to develop, lean in, take a sniff and feel the delicious shivers running down your spine.
The opening to Junoon noir to my nose is dominated by lime and kumquat. After half a minute, the mid starts to develop with violet and jasmine notes. The jasmine note doesn't last very long before it is completely overpowered by vanilla and the later part of the mid is a thoroughly delicious kumquat, violet and vanilla combination. In truth it smells a little fresh with powdery vanilla at this point.
The dry down is a lightly sweet, incredibly silky and very feminine vanilla fragrance.
I own Junoon and whilst that is a predominantly powdery Iris, Junoon noir is a less powdery, sweetened vanilla. Both are intensely feminine, Junoon noir is of better quality, but I like Junoon slightly more due to Iris being the star of the show.
Lime and vanilla are two notes that go splendidly well together. I must explore more of these combinations.
