I was just thinking that the Noir/Black trend has another meaning that it never came into my mind so far. You can see them Noir as the equivalente of masculine classic tailoring: it doesn't have much space for extravagance, it's made to be part of a group in a very ellegant way. And Oud has been following this tailoring approach since most of Oud fragrances follow the codes for what an Oud scent should smell in mainstream. Of course, this makes them, as in tailoring, a little bit similar one to the other, so they try to stand apart (at least some) focusing on the details and not on the overall structure. In Oud Noir Versace found a way of paying a hommage to one of their oldest bold orientals, Versace Man, by bringing back the grape-ish and bright orange flower accord. Since it's not the focus here, it's less sweet and less intense, just the fancy detail for the oud suit, which is very straight on its execution: musky oud of woody nuances, with abstract spice aura and some incense notes too. I expected it to be more intense maybe, i'm surprised that this could easily work well to be worn on a daily basis. While i enjoyed it, the way it flows gives me a deja-vu impression, as if i had already smelled it on another place. But this happens with black suits too and some man look gorgeous on them, so i guess that it's the same case here.

High class woody-leathery designer oud fragrance...

When I first heard of the comparisons to Versace Man, I was very doubtful, as I own and love Man and could not get into my head how an oud-based scent could be similar to a saffron-based scent. Now that I've owned it for some time I must say it is very similar to Man, but with deeper and more fullfilled notes. More oud than saffron, and somehow seems more exclusive. The oud is slightly synthetic, sweet and westernized, so that it won't come across as anything "rotten" - so glad they didn't mix any rose into this one.

The scent itself is spicy, warm and boozy and after a couple of hours it dries down to a great leathery and woody base with hints of cardamom and pepper.
Sillage and longevity are average (while my Versace Man is bordering on nuclear) but maybe this could be due to the fact that it is EdP strength ?? Anyway, I see no reason to own it as long as I have Man, but most probably this is the one that will take over after my discontinued Man is empty - at that time I reckon the price of Oud Noir will be identical to Versace Man of today.

Definitely one of the best male releases from Versace in the last ten years.

Safe, easy, supple, sexy, groovy...

For beginners who wants to try a decent perfume with oud and leather. For men who may want to impress girls on a night out. For men who are dedicated to smell great at work and wouldn't want to offend workmates with "you smell different and nauseating" perfume. For women who love to explore men's fragrances. This is for you.

Versace pour Homme Oud Noir scent is one of the softest oud and leather based perfumes I have worn. A mild oud and leather combination well blended with oriental woody notes that toned town the usual might and heady characters of oud and leather. Smooth sweetness, quite bitter, a touch of creaminess and warm from the spice notes. No animalic note detected on my skin, which is good. If there is a dirty musk, for sure it was well hidden and behaved. Projection and longevity is average. But first hour of wearing it, 4 sprays, you will definitely be noticed. 5 hours later, close to skin. Safe to wear on parties, work (2-3 sprays) and dates. Sensual? Yes. Unique? No.

I can see the comparisons with Versace Man (heart to dry down) closer than Tom Ford Oud Wood (top stage). Oud Noir also reminded me of MFK Oud, which is less sweet and a bit thicker in oud. I prefer Oud Noir on summer nights and fall seasons. I prefer MFK Oud and Oud Wood on winter. Over all, I prefer Versace Man, still.

Versace Oud Noir is for me, the Versace Man lightly added with oud and spices. Both amazing, high quality smell (imo) and yes, full bottle worthy.

Classy and masculine

Versace Pour Homme Oud Noir is both the best of the line and the most underrated one, it’s no surprise that it didn’t sell as well as the original and Dylan Blue, because it’s a refined, mature and subdued fragrance from a brand that’s more known for being youthful and attention grabbing these days. Versace buyers aren’t looking for a fragrance for the hairy chested man, and those men aren’t buying Versace.

I happen to enjoy it a lot, it’s my woody spicy fragrance for winter in my collection mostly consisting of gourmands. The first thing you get is dry and rindy citrus mixed with spices, which smoothly transitions into resinous woods and saffron, the blend is actually quite smooth for Versace, which is rarely the case for them.

The smell is super appealing, it has a mysterious and slightly off putting quality mixed with very crowd pleasing designer sensibilities, it’s super easy to pull off but it’s not boring or devoid of personality. The only thing that could be a bit disappointing is the performance. This is not a beast, it projects very moderately and most of its duration is as a skin scent. I happen to like that in a fragrance, especially one more suited to special occasions, but if you’re looking for a beast mode fragrance this is not it.

It’s a shame Versace discontinued this, it’s left a hole in their catalogue that’s not currently being occupied by anything. I wish Versace would put this level of craft and refinement in more of their fragrances, we can only imagine what the flankers for this one could’ve smelled like.

If you happen to come across a bottle of this for a good price and you like something that’s elegant, masculine, modern and sexy for the fall and winter then it’s a good choice, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to grab one because there’s obviously similar scents out there.

Pleasant entry into the world of oud

Dark, masculine, woodsy. The smell reminds me of pines, resin and dark forest, just after heavy rain. Faint smell of fire and smoke leads through a meadow filled with flowers. I know this fragrance gets compared to TF's Oud Wood, and I also bought it as a cheaper alternative, but this is a beast of it's own. Oud Wood was flatter on my skin, and was gone after 2 hours. Oud Noir on the other hand has a very consistent life cycle, with every stage being very pleasant, not overwhelming or heavy. I loved to wear it in the evenings or on colder days, but I could also pull it off in warmer weather. It became my signature scent and I quickly went through half of the bottle.

Then something happened to my bottle and the fragrance became an absolute BEAST. I do three sprays and I suffocate myself and everyone around me for the whole evening. My wardrobe smells like Oud Noir for few days after using it, and I don't even spray my clothes. My impressions also changed. It became much heavier, with a really strong, intoxicating opening. The powdery notes and saffron became more pronounced. I still like it, and I think this is a very original and unique fragrance that everyone should try. Personally, I'm not sure if I'll re-buy it in the future, perhaps opting for something deeper down the oud ladder.
