A study in contrasts

There are fragrances that arrive in your life quietly, long after their release, yet feel as if they’ve been waiting for you all along. Extrait Noir (2021) is exactly that kind of encounter-a dark, enigmatic leather fougère steeped in camphor and castoreum, shadows, and silence.
Discovering it now feels almost poetic. As if Pierre Negrin carried a Mida’s touch, turning not things into gold, but emotions into something deeper-into obsidian, into velvet night, into the unspoken.


This scent is not meant for everyone. It’s a study in contrasts: raw yet refined, animalic yet contemplative, intimate yet untamed. It doesn’t try to please; it reveals. Slowly. Patiently. And in its unfolding, it shows a kind of truth that most perfumes never dare to chase.
Among all the dark and mysterious creations in my collection, this one might be the most singular. It smells like nothing I’ve ever experienced before-an olfactory anomaly, a silent ritual in the language of shadow.
If your soul leans toward the nocturnal… you need to try this!
