Or Noir Haute Fragrance Company

Too many fragrances have yet to receive a 10 from me.
Usually, there's some note that stands out too much over time or the scent leans too heavily in one direction without maintaining a good balance, meaning too floral or too sweet, etc. So it's completely subjective.
However, if a fragrance is as well-balanced as this one and nothing bothers me about it, then it deserves a 10.
I can't write much about the scent itself other than that it smells soft and harmonious and is definitely unique. And of very high quality. This uniqueness probably comes from the orange tree, as I haven't discovered this in any other fragrance. I also imagine perceiving some saffron that might be hiding behind the term "spicy notes." The softness I mentioned is likely achieved through sandalwood and musk.
If a survey were conducted about this fragrance, I am sure most people would simply say it smells good. Or maybe it smells very good. Or even sooo good.
But not that it smells fruity or sweet or woody or masculine or sensual, etc.
It never becomes overwhelming. It's never too penetrating.
Or Noir shines through understatement.
It is always pleasant to perceive.
And it fits many occasions and complements, in my opinion, almost any outfit. Whether office, leisure, wedding, or black-tie event. With sporty clothing, casual, a bit dressier, or even a leather jacket. Even with a flannel shirt and jeans. Suitable for young and old, in any season, and absolutely unisex. A versatile weapon or an everyday go-to.
My definition of this fragrance is: It simply smells very good!
And that's why it also lands on my wish list. Because sometimes I just want to smell good.
