It Makes Madmen And Criminals
Suppose you are interested in knowing how I discovered this perfume brand. In that case, I recommend you read the introduction I wrote for Revolution Man - Carbon Pulse produced by the same brand. Limitless Noir was the third piece to conquer the favourites podium. Its bottle is pure black and opaque, reminiscent of cooled volcanic lava and onyx, something alien and mysterious. Smelling the dispenser, you perceive that evident characteristic of the so-called blue, aromatic, woody, watery perfumes, with a strong molecular tendency. Once worn, my sensations are confirmed, or rather, strengthened.
Limitless Noir has a sparkling opening full of bright, rather spicy peppermint and opiate mugwort with supposedly narcotizing characteristics that give balsamic reflections to the lemon zest, creating a citrus and mentholated effect. In the past, it was believed that mugwort, or wormwood, made people crazy and criminals, transforming men into savages. The softer and creamier notes of bergamot, soapy and perceptible, balance the sour ones of lemon, giving the opening a deep freshness that differs from being a classic cologne based on neroli, orange blossom, and petitgrain. Limitless Noir is a more aromatic type of classic cologne, and from the beginning, it appears more elegant and sophisticated than a common barbershop perfume and smells fresh and fruity on a dry, woody background.
If the accord used to announce the perfume might appear banal, obvious, or semi-classical, the central one turns out to be a surprise. Slowly, on the parts of the body affected by the application, the green and herbaceous accords of the foliage emerge, among which a dried dark lavender stands out which recalls straw, basically fougère, intertwined with the pink and dark scents of the pelargonium leaves. Instead, smelled on the strip of paper, it releases hints with more flowery and fruity impulses, making the part of the lavender flower and that of a presumed tropical fruit prevail. Even if very weak, and not the protagonist, in the background I notice the presence of the pineapple that many of us have learned to know and appreciate with the advent of Aventus. There is no trace of smoky or incensed notes, but only semi-sour fruit and aromatic flowers. In this middle phase, the perfume maintains a bluish, fresh, aromatic, and herbaceous profile.
During the drying phase, the woody edges emerge. Cedarwood, strengthened by an overdose of Iso-E Super, dominates the last wake. Even if the hand is very heavy in the woods, the fragrance remains fresh and dry even at the base. Sometimes a sweet and even slightly creamy accent emerges, typical of Amberwood, together with a touch of tonka that gives vanilla reflections. With the heat of the body, the creamy note of sandalwood also emerges, making the last longings very sensual. When it becomes a skin scent, it leaves a warm amber veil.
it’s a close-range scent that leaves a subtle hint in the air but doesn’t arouse attention. Compared to the other Revolution Man perfumes that I have tried and reviewed, this is the most intimate one, with reduced projection and longevity, a little below average. I feel it is a perfume suitable for evening and night events, usable in all seasons, and perhaps a little weak in winter. Since it is not offensive, I think you can easily wear it even during the day for the office or free time. The name Limitless Noir is misleading, and my gut feeling is that it’s inspired by Bleu de Chanel Parfum.
I wrote my impressions based on a bottle I have owned since March 2024.
