Disappeared Beneath the Waves
This goes on with a strong Scotchguard smell, and then quickly becomes ambery, like a high-quality stryax (liquidamber). After four hours, it becomes a skin scent and it has warmed up more, turning faintly resinous and snob-flower luxurious. The silage is never more than a foot. At six hours, the flower accord dominates to turn it completely in the direction of elegance. By seven hours, it is gone.

Coeur de Noir is a decent scent, held back by a lugubrious development. I guess if you needed a scent in your collection, you could do a lot worse for more money. Sadly, I don't detect very many of the notes they list. Rum, ginger, and ink are all overboard, disappeared beneath the waves.

Beaufort / Cœur de Noir
Another strong work from the Beaufort Stables. The fragrance this time is slightly sweet, and at the same time dark and strong, in which the aromas of slightly sweet vanilla and tobacco mix, sprinkled with rum on the skin and bitter, tarry and smoky birch tar. 'Black Heart' is a very interesting perfume, in which the main and opening note (of the head) is also played with ink (but it is very slightly perceptible to me).
A perfume with a really tarry, smoky and slightly sweet (vanilla / rum) perception. It lasts about 12 hours on my skin, although I feel them even longer. Projection for 5-6 hours is really noticeable. Nothing but to try those overseas delicacies, which, as usual at Beaufort's, are related to the history of England, sea trade, conquests, seafaring and refer to what was transported on these ships, what was eaten, what was traded, what was done and what was fought.
I recommend.

The jester that announces your arrival kind of perfume
My nose detects lots of burnt wood, ash- perfect for cold weather. The first minute or so after the spray, it's very volatilesque, synthetic, but it stabilize soon, and it's a very uniform projection (constant) .
I find it as being that what people say Encre Noir Extreme is- true smoke.
I tried to combine it with EN, but EN is too sweet, and it makes extreme contrasty smells.

So, longevity, medium to poor on skin, extremely good on clothes and hair.
I smell lots of burnt wood, charcoal, and the drydow starts with oily workshop mixed with dust, and finally end in leathery old clothes,dried ones (solvents of the leather dyes kind of) .

So, for 45$ for 50ml, I would recommend it, for the full price however, only if you're into the stuff I described it as.
I don't love it, or hate it, I think it's great for the winters, cold weathers, to wear on your coat or scarf, as an introduction to whatever you wear on you garments beaneath.
It is not a masterpiece.

beautiful conceptual experience
this was described as "an antique ink bottle" and it really feels like it. the opening is so similar to the watery smoky smell you get when you smell ink in a bottle, fresh and deep and rich.

as it settles (pretty quickly) it does go smokier, i get the wood and tobacco more, but it does still retain the vanilla note and some freshness that keep it from getting heavy and annoying.

can't speak about longevity yet, but so far i really appreciate how well the scent captures the concept it's trying to picture, in an elegant and sophisticated formulation that works even if you examine it beyond its novelty appeal.

Dark, wild and intense experience
Coeur de Noir is the first fragrance from the niche fragrance house BeauFort London that I have tried. What an experience that was!

I heard about this house's nautical inspiration from the sea, the United Kingdom and everything around the island. The design of the fragrance bottles brought a vision of old ships, shipwrecks, rum and wood burning. Starting off my journey with the fragrance house with Coeur de Noir affirms all my envisioned expectations.
Coeur de Noir has a very masculine opening, it must be the most masculine fragrance I have dared to try lately.
It has a very distinct smell of burning wood, leather and fresh tobacco.
The depth of the fragrance, and it is a heavy one, lightens up, but remains masculine, leathery and with a pepper undertone.
It is damp, wet, and you can almost imagine yourself standing on the ship in the library looking around with no one around except yourself. You look through the papers on the table, spill the ink by mistake. The captain is just around the corner, his tobacco and glass of rum left untouched.

During oxidation, the fragrance becomes more spicy. On paper it is fresher with obvious hints of ginger, but unfortunately I cannot smell it on my skin. I would have loved this fresher element on myself, because it leans too masculine for me without it.
An hour in and the fragrance has remained the same, true to its initial notes of leather, smoke and pepper or what might be the note of tobacco.

Three hours in and the fragrance has settled down a lot, it actually becomes very wearable for me and reminds me of Memoirs of a Trespasser by Imaginary Authors.
Coeur de Noir is a rich fragrance that has a wonderful depth that I love in fragrances. The note composition is of ink, rum and ginger as top notes; leather and vanilla as middle notes; birch, tobacco and cedar as base notes.

Coeur de Noir is a unisex fragrance, but after trying it I immediately thought of my boyfriend and how wonderfully this fragrance will fit someone masculine.

BeauFort London is a fragrance house I will definitely continue revisiting.

A vanilla fragrance masquerading as leather and tar. Opens bitter, smoky, resinous, great, but quickly devolves into unfocused resins.

A warm and dry, yet rather smooth, spicy leathery-woody Fall fragrance, with a pungent and dark, smoky spicy-green opening. Masculine.

Salty, inky, vanilic-boozy leather. It's lovely, and has a nice presence - soft with a bit of an edge to it.
