Is it really Noir?

I’ll give it away - I think a white shirt is great. Accordingly, my expectations were high. Once again, it’s about a piece of clothing (the fabric theme seems to be quite popular). Gabardine is, as usual, made from fine merino wool and is often used for transitional coats, suits, and even officer uniforms. So, a dark officer's coat. It fits perfectly with a white shirt - très chic.

However, Gabardine smells much brighter than expected. One can even sense a resemblance to Chemise Blanche, although GN comes across as quite rough. I could like it a lot if it weren't for that one note that bothers me immensely. Unfortunately, I can't identify it, but it reminds me a bit of plastic. I encountered this note in Nuvole as well, but there it is somewhat subtler and adds a certain spiciness. In Gabardine, it is much more pronounced. Nevertheless, it is a clean scent with character, but unfortunately a bit too fussy for my taste.

Oh yes, Gabardine was invented in 1879 by Thomas Burberry. Coincidence or homage? :)
