It’s a rare fragrance with a dark, earthy opening and a spicy touch. The cucumber, vetiver, sandalwood, and guaiac stand out, creating a blend reminiscent of Burberry The Beat + Narciso Rodriguez for Him: the green and spicy facets of The Beat but more ‘Noir’, paired with that wet, natural feel of N.R. It’s something unusual, attractive, and very natural, yet it doesn’t evolve over time and can become tiring after a while or with continuous wear. Like other scents from this brand, its performance is poor: in the first two hours, the trail is low, medium afterward, and then it disappears right against the skin for about three more hours. At the price of 100 ml ($105 USD), it’s not worth it; buying The Beat and N.R. separately is cheaper and longer-lasting, achieving a similar scent but with better projection and the advantage of using them individually. In short, it’s a dark, earthy, natural, and formal aroma, ideal for those over 25-30 and in cool or cold climates.
