the true Gentleman's fragrance
‘Sometimes you meet such a gentleman that, if manners didn't exist, he would have invented them.’
Signature Noire in my opinion is that fragrance that should not be missing from a man's collection.
A distinctive, elegant fragrance with vivacious and aromatic notes in the initial part, which then reveals aromatic and slightly camphorated nuances.
It revisits in a modern key, adding a lot of personality, the men's fragrances of years gone by, making it surprisingly classy.
In short, Signature Noire is the true Gentleman's fragrance, fit for any occasion and which will not be less than distinctive in its apparent simplicity.
High performance, for all seasons.

Nice enough skin scent
I was very impressed with Zaharoff's Halfeti Black Rose and had high hopes for other fragrances from this house. So far, it's been a let down. Signature Royale X and Signature Royale XXX are just OK but sit pretty close to the skin. Signature Noir is a nice enough masculine, woody scent with great longevity but way too subtle for me. About 45 minutes after application, I could hardly smell it. Basically a skin scent. (Royale X and Royale XXX have the same problem.) Longevity is quite good however. I'll pass. Tested from a sample purchased directly from Zaharoff.

Lovely variant of the original---semi-sweet, resinous, woody, classy
This is my second wearing of Zaharoff Signature Noir, one of the two recently-released flankers (along with Signature Royale) to the original Signature from 2018. Noir feels much more like a natural variation of the original than Royale does, but Noir certainly deviates in interesting ways, and I love both aspects of it.

To the original’s sweet-and-spicy, semi-fresh, modern take on the fougere concept, Noir is denser, dryer, and ever so slightly less sweet. Anchored by a similar group of spices (pepper, ginger) but darkened by anise and a heavier use of oud (to my nose) and sharpened by tonka and resins (fir balsam, frankincense), Noir ends up having vaguely dry leather quality that is not part of the original.

The original Signature is very versatile in terms of situation and season, both a nod to classics while having a very modern, somewhat unisex sensibility, but Noir specifically feels like more of a modern nighttime / cold weather-friendly variation, albeit still walking the unisex/masculine tightrope. Overall, Noir is a welcome variation, clearly related to the original but very much with its own character, different utility, but still very impressive. I’ll be happy to have a bottle

Like Signature Royale, Signature Noir is priced at $105 for 60ml, very reasonable for an independent offering, just a touch higher than the original at $95 for 60ml or $155 for 120ml. It is sold individually, or part of other package deals, exclusively via the Zaharoff website in the US, to my knowledge.

Absolutely awesome, a signature in sweet and berry -gentle but unfortunately without that aftershave charm - later more woody.

The original reminded me of pear compote and was a bit too sweet for me. "Signature Noir" is a whole lot sweeter - unfortunately :(

Bergamot at the start (like a classic EdC). A bit of cypress and tonka. Somehow the scent can't decide if it's fresh ...

Original in Better, fresher start, mandarin clearly with a berry sweetness, then Barber without lavender, curious, cedar dominant softly envelops.

Amazing scent from Zaharoff.
The opening is a cool sweet freshness that then turns into a barbershop-like touch and original DNA.

For many, the best in the line. Dream scent that is very close to the original in terms of fragrance. Very narrowly in 2nd place behind the original.
