The whisper...!

I can still hear it...your whisper...
I can still hear it deep inside me. Furry and dull like the leaves of marjoram. As fleshy and fluffy and muffled as a dull beat of the heart. A bitter green whisper of wilting coriander and clove green echoes in my head. Your whisper,...the moments when words become olfactory. The moment when all the delicate hairs on the back of my neck spread out like frozen lilies of the valley. And quietly shatter like powdery, frosty icicles of iris roots. Your whisper,...the moment when the osmanthus in me briefly blossoms before it withers in the sun and it smells of mirabelle plums and peach. Whisper it again through the watery rose petals what you want to say to me before all the words become quieter as if through a gag. It still echoes. The intimate, tender sigh of musky-soft humanity. And so you whisper to me one last time. With the last spark of gentle strength. As soulful and soft as nectar and honey melting in the sun. Delicately and softly surrounded by amber......
I LOVE YOU...!

Conclusion....
Nombre Noir
Yes... you can smell innocence. And you can also dress in it. Provided it is honestly made and meant. Here it is! A whisper so soulful and quiet. Yet so insistent and loud. A whisper can be louder than many a shout. You can't bring back what once was. No memories, no emotion, no desire and no longing. But you can have a foot in the door with the right perfume and catch a wonderful glimpse of how it once was. When the world was so full of beauty that it hurt. For anyone who should ever have the opportunity to taste this perfume as I did. He or she be warned. Nombre Noir "The Black Number" has a very high value. If you are willing to pay it...no inhibitions. Of course it would be nice to own it. But I don't necessarily need it. Why,...I've always kept the whisper of innocence. That's probably why I hear it so loudly...!
If you want to get your way, you have to speak softly....!
-Jean Giraudoux-

Now it's whispering loudly 'try me' around the round corner...

Beautifully described! With the herbs in the opening, I would be unsure whether they harmonized... but the whisper sounds like a whiff that I can't escape. The scents of the past are captivating me more and more.

The quieter the word, the more insistent it is at times.
The whisper of the past... So you hear it too. How wonderful!

Very poetic again my dear. I think I might like the scent too, especially as I prefer a whisper to any noise at the moment.

You're sure to whisper Nombre Noir to some vintage hunters on their watch lists. 😁

For sure 🤭
But as beautiful as the perfume is, it is and remains just a perfume. Utopian prices!🙈😱😉

It's great that you have retained the art of listening carefully, especially to the quiet, whispered tones.
I can't describe how much your words touched me.

There it is again, that dangerous whisper, ensnaring, bewitching. Now I feel pinpricks of bursting iris icicles in my Nacken☺️🤗

Don't let yourself be bewitched. The price alone is enough to raise the hairs on the back of your neck. Even whispered, €1,600 doesn't sound any nicer 🙈🤭😂

Your words have become an echo sounder in me. And I am very calm, touched, with my lips pressed together. Eerily melancholic text, almost sad. Or in other words: dark blue-black.

I had actually only written down what the perfume had dictated to me. All the images, all the scenarios, all the beauty
and all the melancholy. Nombre Noir has a lot to tell. But you have to listen carefully...because it whispers!
Thank you my dear friend.🙏🏽

The bottle already looks so brilliant! And the contents have touched you! An artist can only do that if he gives his all, skin and hair, head over heels.

The young Serge Lutens poured all his heart and soul into it. Every note whispers...!

You were lucky enough to test this treasure!
Your vivid description suggests how precious it is.
But shall I whisper something to you? I still have three bottles in the cupboard ..... 😂😂😂

I can accommodate you a little ..... 😂
Is of course garbage ..... if I had such a treasure, it would probably be stored in a safe deposit box at the bank - dark and cool .... 😂 .... But you might come by occasionally for a sniff!

I would possibly buy one from you. But not for €1,600...🙈😂🙈😂

I also thought what my colleague @Kovex thought... sometimes that's thought transference 😀
As far as fragrance goes, the ones released under the Shiseido name these days are worlds apart from the ones that used to exist. I would always go for the older ones.

@SchatzSucher
I completely agree with you. The old fragrances from the house were still really nice. This one, however, is the crowning glory. Fine, classy and so subtle. Should there be a new edition one day (which I doubt) I would definitely buy it. But for a reasonable price. The current one is beyond good and evil!
Thank you darling!🤗🙏🏽

How hauntingly beautiful! About 2 hours before you wrote this review, I thought "it's been a long time since I heard from Can" and bang, I was heard 😊. Magic!

I totally agree with you, some scents (just like some other beautiful things) don't need to be owned, a brief encounter and a vague memory is enough... Thank you for your quietly profound words!

I completely agree with you. And that's exactly how I see it. Once you have them, one day you quickly get over them...!

Serge Lutens? Wow, that sounds tempting. Probably no longer available.

@Pollita
The last 60ml bottle I saw was available in Japan for 1600€.
A rare rarity. It has not been produced for a very long time, which is a great pity. I am very sure you would like it. You also like the quiet tones. Thank you Pollita! 🙏🏽

It seems to be a fragrance that reflects an effective whisper in olfactory form. A fragrance that doesn't have to shout its power. Rare.

Nombre Noir Is so incredibly quiet and whispery and yet says so much. It's very, very rare either way. Beautiful!

I whisper my thanks for your haunting words - you let us smell, feel and hear the fragrance. Yes, sometimes something very quiet contains the deepest echo, and you have kept it inside you. 🙏

And I'm glad if my whisper reached you too. But no wonder. We both hear the same sounds. Whether loud, very, very quiet and even in silence. Thank you 🖤

Outer noise fades away in inner depths, in the silence of the nothingness that contains everything...
I gladly followed your trail to the whisper of innocence. And I agree with you, whispering softly: what you have realized in yourself, you no longer need to look for in external things...
Thank you for your inspiration!!!
