I have Santal… 10/10 absolute. I have Lys… 7-8/10. And this The Noir… 9/10. I can’t give it a 10 because it lacks 5-7 more hours than the 8 Santal lasts to deserve that score (awesome, Santal’s longevity and rich aroma). But The Noir has its own thing… exquisitely unisex aroma. 100% recommended.
I have Santal… 10 out of 10 absolute. I have Lys… 7-8 out of 10. And this The Noir… 9 out of 10!!! I can’t give it a 10 because it lacks 5-7 more hours compared to the 8 Santal… lasts, to deserve Santal… 10 out of 10 (beastly, Santal… has amazing longevity and a rich aroma). But The Noir has its own thing… exquisitely unisex aroma. 100% recommended.
I retract the 9 I gave The Noir… 10!! Aromatic, feminine, masculine… floral all of a sudden… then woody… fresh. Everything, but in harmony. Wearing it for 3 days, I recognize it also deserves a 10. Scent 10/10, projection 10, longevity 10… cost… expensive, but you won’t regret a Le Labo. I recommend *Santal… The Noir… Another 13… Oud… Lys*. At minimum, order a sample, they’re worth knowing.
Ufff… what a crazy perfume. A fragrance that stands out, that leaves a trail wherever you go. Exquisite, different, fresh, and versatile. It has no flaws.
The first spray, as is customary with most fragrances from the house, is a powerful and complex punch. Quickly, as it dries, we can break down a fresh woody opening along with bergamot notes and a creamy fig, slightly sweet and talc-like. In the middle phase, we continue with this fresh fig alongside the addition of laurel leaves, a note I hadn’t tried before, plus touches of cedar and musk. Here the perfume takes a different path, becoming warmer and dangerously overwhelming if you over-spray. To finish, an exquisite tobacco that smells better the longer it dries. All this is supported by a black tea base that, while not the protagonist, is present throughout almost the entire development. The sensation is pleasant; I imagine a cup of heavily loaded, boiling, steaming black tea, with some fig and laurel. Although the start is fresh, you have to be careful with the sprays, because half an hour later its warm deployment could be heavy in high temperatures.
The first spray, as is customary with most fragrances from the house, is a powerful and somewhat complex slap, which quickly dries down to reveal a fresh woody opening along with notes of bergamot and a slightly sweet, powdery creamy fig. In the heart phase, we continue with this fresh fig alongside the addition of the laurel leaf note, a note I’ve never had the chance to try in any other perfume, plus some touches of cedar and musk. Here, the perfume takes a totally different path from the opening, becoming warmer and dangerously overwhelming if you overdo the sprays. To finish, an exquisite tobacco note that smells better the longer it dries, as the scent evolves over time. All of this is supported by a base of black tea that, while not the star, is present throughout almost the entire development of the composition. The sensation it gives is quite pleasant, and when I smell it, I imagine a very strong, boiling, steaming cup of black tea with some fig and laurel leaves inside. While the opening is quite fresh, you need to be careful with the sprays, because after half an hour, its warm deployment could be quite heavy in high temperatures.
I’m not a perfumer’s nose, I’m an ordinary mortal. But I’m curious about great aromas. I say I’m not a perfumer’s nose because this fragrance doesn’t let me break down its notes; I think they’re so well-mixed and the harmony so achieved that it becomes almost a unified aroma that changes quite well through its phases. The first impression was tea with something fruity in the background. In the middle phase, I only distinguish textures; I think I identified the fig notes well, both fruit and leaves, but it’s so well-mixed that I distinguish it vaguely. It’s a sweet-fruity composition, not cloying, also somewhat powdery and talc-like. Behind all this, you can feel the tobacco mixed with vetiver, responsible for that powdery sensation. It’s a clean, slightly poetic fragrance. Paintings of Renaissance gardens come to mind; I love that about perfumes, that they can be as evocative as books. Given the brand’s price, it’s worth trying these aromas once and buying samples.
The Noir 29! WOW! Who is Santal 33 now? I confess I ordered the discovery set for Santal 33 (which is also wow), but I liked this one more. There was a review saying it reminds you of the Renaissance, and they’re right. I smell The Noir 29 and think of a young duchess entering adulthood, in her lush garden, telling her expert perfumer how she wants to smell. I see the perfumer traveling the world searching for special and expensive ingredients to achieve the formula. It’s incredible, it’s different. I’d wear it someone who isn’t ordinary, who takes a step further, who doesn’t follow the herd and knows about scents. It’s a classic yet modern, inexplicable aroma. You can feel the black tea, woody, spaced out with an earthy touch, and the green notes make it evoke a clean and cozy smell. Is it worth the price? Yes. Buying at that price makes total sense; they’re giving you something unique. You can tell it was crafted with care.
If you’re overwhelmed by desperation and have to choose between saving your child’s life or saving your company from bankruptcy, what would you do? In Kurosawa’s hell of hatred, Gondo is forced to make that decisive choice. A drama that brings to light humanistic reflections on ethics and dignity. What does this have to do with the perfume? The first thing that came to my mind was that film. Contradictorily, there is light and shadow in it, just like in The Noir 29. We find nobility in the bergamot leaves, black tea, and laurel, but a dark depth in the cedar, fig, and hay woods. There’s a hint of undeclared rose, probably due to the synergy of fig, musk, and tobacco. It all tells a story. Perfumes do too, and for me, this one fits the story of the tormented father facing such a crossroads. I see The Noir 29 on Gondo’s shirt as he faces what happened with nostalgia and tension. The perfume is elegant, addictive, and seductive. Le Labo accompanies this film noir consistently.
Total exquisitez. Siento que The Noir 29 debería ser el best-seller, no Santal 33; es un puro disfrute usarlo. Aquí tienes higo, bergamota y una mezcla de cedro-vetiver un poco punzante pero nada en exceso. Realmente refrescante y energizante, es un perfume para comprar a ciegas, sin dudar.
I woke up craving something from the brand, and this fragrance immediately caught my eye. I searched online and on forums, and it only convinced me more, so I bought it. I did it in a narcissistic way, writing my name and surname on the label to feel important and cover up my emotional shortcomings stemming from childhood trauma. My classmates used to mock me because I wore Gentleman Original by Givenchy while they sprayed Axe smelling like chocolate or teenage sweat, but hey, I’d step up to the blackboard to solve second-degree equations like a pro. When the package arrived three months later, I’d already forgotten I’d bought it. I opened it in a hurry, saw my name, and, exultant with CR7-style vanity, I sprayed it on my wrist. Upon smelling it, I recoiled quite a bit. Not because it was bad, but because it was extremely strong and, as the minutes passed, it became more and more suffocating. It was an aroma that literally asphyxiated me due to its density. Granted, it was summer in the middle of a heatwave… I had to take a shower and then douse myself in Eau des Sens all over. Well, I left it forgotten in my ‘failed purchases’ closet, where I have a few; the queen there is Megamierdamare. I tried it again in winter. The scent is very compact and hard to describe, as it feels nothing natural—it’s a block of mutant synthetic chemicals. It smells very woody and herbal, certainly like a cup of yerba mate with steroids. It’s a very deep aroma and gives a sense of drowning because it gets stuck in your nasal passages; it’s like Indurain climbing a mountain pass: it goes at a steady pace and eventually kills you. It’s quite good, but every time I wear it, I get that sensation described earlier. I wish it were softer and more restrained, because the first hour gets very heavy, and since it’s a scent that doesn’t evolve, it gets even worse. After that hour, it’s more bearable, but it absolutely kills me at the start.
One day I searched for a scent from the brand and this was the one that caught my eye the most. I bought it narcissistically, put my name on the label to feel important and make up for childhood traumas. My coworkers made fun of me because I used the original Givenchy Gentleman while they used Axe smelling like chocolate or teenage sweat, but I solved second-degree equations like a gentleman. When the package arrived three months later, I had already forgotten about the purchase; I opened it, found my name, and exultant with happiness from my vanity CR7, I put it on my wrist. When I smelled it, I recoiled: not because it was bad, but because it was very strong and became more and more suffocating, I was suffocated by its density. We were in summer in the middle of a heatwave, I had to shower and spray Eau des Sens. I left it in the failed purchases closet, where the queen is Megamierdamare. In winter, I tried it again: it’s very compact and hard to describe, it doesn’t feel natural, it’s a block of synthetic mutant chemicals. It smells very woody and herbal, like a mate tea with steroids. It’s deep and gives a feeling of suffocation, it goes into the nostrils like Indurain climbing a mountain pass, it goes at a pace and eventually kills you. It’s quite good, but I always have that feeling. I would like it to be softer and more restrained, because the first hour is very heavy and, since it doesn’t change, even more so. Once that hour passes, it’s more bearable, but it kills me too much at the start.
Personally, a very distinct rose scent stands out to me, even though it’s not in its notes, thanks to the combination of fig and black tea. With a clean and woody but strong and intense base. A perfume delight. Performance, needless to say, you have no problems at all.
At first, I was intimidated by its woody and slightly sharp opening, but once it dried down, I discovered its magic. A sweet fig and vetiver surrounded by black tea appear. The tobacco is very perceptible and over time only arrives in wisps; what lingers is the fig, sweet and almost gourmand. I love it, it’s delicious.
Its sharp citrus opening with bergamot and the green of laurel has an undeclared tea note that is the queen of this scent; it mixes with a soft rose and the tobacco ends up enveloping it. In short, it’s a floral tea with figs and tobacco, exquisite.
The Noir 29 Le Labo: No, it’s not for everyone. The bitter and refined fig is the dominant partner to the bergamot and aromatic laurel, joining that lush hay and cedar wood. In my opinion, it’s a treat, a different, fine, and natural scent that conveys cleanliness, class, and personality. It’s not a trendy or young fragrance; it’s an adult aroma that shows what success smells like. Its use is versatile: day, evening, night, office, or dates. A scent of luxurious class and sublime natural beauty, like witnessing a unique landscape where only what you perceive in that instant matters. Magnificent fragrance for distinguished people who enjoy the unusual and superior. Scent: 11. Projection: good, 2 hours and still going. Longevity: 8 hours, even longer on clothes. Highly recommended.
The Noir 29 Le Labo: No, it’s not an aroma for everyone. The fig, so bitter and refined, becomes the dominant partner of the always aromatic and strong bergamot and laurel, complemented by that lush hay meadow joining the cedar wood. In my particular opinion, it’s a treat, a different, fine, and natural aroma, just as I like it: one that conveys cleanliness, class, and personality. Of course, it’s not a trend fragrance, nor young; it’s an adult aroma that shows what success smells like. Its use is versatile: day, afternoon, night, it can be used in the office, outings, or dates. A fragrance of luxurious class and sublime natural beauty. Like witnessing the beauty of a landscape without comparison, where you only enjoy what you perceive. It’s a magnificent fragrance for distinguished people who like the unusual, precious, and superior. Scent: 11. Projection: good, 2 hours and it’s still perceptible. Longevity: 8 hours, even longer on clothes. Highly recommended.
Without all the fuss about the citrus and wood opening blah blah blah: if you want to smell like funeral home roses, Alcatraz Pum The Noir 29 is what you’re looking for.
Fresh, woody, earthy, tea, floral. Spectacular.
a delight
I was gifted the 30ml edition. I like it; it’s refined, sweet, and citrusy; after a few hours, it turns sweet and smoky with tobacco. It feels more masculine than unisex to me, but it also has floral notes. I feel it has a style similar to L’Eau Bleue d’Issey, which I consider spectacular, timeless, clean, and super masculine… and I definitely stick with Bleue d’Issey.
Who buys expensive brands like Le Labo on Amazon? Don’t do it, don’t buy fakes, don’t waste your money :_) I have The Noir29 and it doesn’t smell like flowers or a funeral home; you can definitely taste the fruit (fig leaf), the woods, and the black tea (which they say isn’t listed, but when it’s called black tea, right? :XD?). It’s a great perfume that doesn’t resemble Issey Miyake or any other, though the opening has a note that vaguely reminds me of Jo Malone. The fig leaf is unmistakable, and since it’s a natural scent, you can recognize the note. It also doesn’t come in 30ml, so I see people reviewing it without knowing what they’re talking about. I repeat: don’t gift expensive brands on Amazon, you’ll definitely get scammed; even if it looks the same, IT ISN’T. There are more corners and shops, and if you fall for a scam, they’ll figure it out in the end hehe. Also, the Fragrantica photo isn’t from the official website, and I doubt if it’s original or a copy; the letters aren’t the same, and this perfume hasn’t been reissued; they always had the same typography. It’s the only one with weird letters, especially the “o”. In summary, this brand doesn’t exist on Amazon, try the real thing, it’s worth it 🙂
Le Labo’s The Noir 29 is a spicy, floral, and green fragrance. Its opening is spicy and green, slightly fresh, but after a few minutes, a rose accord stands out, which isn’t listed or maybe it’s an olfactory illusion, but I’m almost certain they contain roses. A fruity aroma is also perceived, but in the background, never overpowering the roses. After a few hours, it leaves a slightly sweet scent with a bit of tobacco and those famous roses. I find it elegant for both day and night use; although it’s spicy, it’s not heavy enough to be used only at night as the name suggests, but rather ideal for special occasions like weddings or dinners, and I could even wear it to work as a signature scent. Its longevity has been good, lasting more than 8 hours, and its trail with a single spray was regular. For some reason, at certain moments, it reminded me a bit of Moschino’s Toy Boy, but less loud and more elegant. In any case, I liked it, just as I like Toy Boy.
I’m not going to write a review because I haven’t tried it. I was reading the product sheet and reviews from people who own it, and I was shocked to read ADABARCELONA, who addresses people who (according to her) try or own fakes in a superb, rude, and condescending way. Le Labo sells in 15, 50, 100, and 500ml formats on their website and at El Corte Inglés. Here is a review from someone who says they were gifted 30ml and maybe got the number confused, but this lady didn’t waste any time trashing it. On the other hand, all my respect to people who, due to low purchasing power or to test an inspiration before buying the original, can enjoy a replica or the version 70 and get a glimpse of the perfume. This world is for anyone who appreciates it, not just for millionaires who don’t know what to do with their money. Ma’am, show more sensitivity, kindness, and education, just as you’d surely like people to show you.
Wow! Wow! Wow! Le Labo keeps surprising me more and more. I first bought Santal 33 but didn’t get it, gave it two chances, then tried Mirrhe 55 Shanghai and loved it; it’s very sexy. Recently I tried The Noir 29 and was indifferent at first, but the image of a rose with citrus and some wood came to mind. After half an hour, I could smell it all over my apartment. It’s a mysterious, powerful, and sexy aroma.
I’m going to talk about The Black 82: the opening is feminine and gives me nausea. If you wear it from the elbow down, it smells quite nauseating; to me, it reminds me of honey with natural rose. Maybe you can detect the laurel leaf and the fig. Overall, it’s a 6 out of 10. I wouldn’t recommend buying it blind or purchasing it. Of course, the Ilang 62 by Emper is worse—feminine and gives me a headache.
A friend was in Europe and asked me to send the product to her home. It was crafted in Antwerp, Belgium. She bought it blind and I absolutely love the scent. The brand recommends letting it mature for a month, but I’ve had it for two weeks. The opening and the smell when opening the cap are undeniably black tea. Immediately after comes a slightly sweet fig. Then appears a scent that initially felt metallic; with more attention and checking the bergamot sample that came with the purchase, I realized it was the laurel and the citrus note. This metallic alcohol lasts about 10-20 minutes. In the dry down, there’s something like a very faint rose mixed with the citrus wood and touches of tobacco. There’s a background sweetness that definitely comes from the fig. It’s not cloying or sharp; it’s hot out and I haven’t felt this way with other perfumes (like those from SWY). I have nose blindness, confirmed because someone said the scent had stuck to them. Despite this, I don’t recommend buying it blind. I love it, but I’m also one of those people who are obsessed with Ombre Nomade or Pardon by Nasomatto.
A beautiful perfume with an elegant trail—the kind I imagine a sophisticated Nordic girl leaves behind while riding her bike through Copenhagen. It’s a modern unisex scent that goes great with a mullet and an oversized Detroit t-shirt. It smells clean and simple, not a piercing molecular musk.
The Noir 29 reminds me of Natura Ekos Alma, which I like. I tried it in a 5ml decant a colleague gave me. Hmm, I wouldn’t buy the bottle since I already own two of the Ekos Alma, and this one smells more masculine and ‘dark’. What’s curious is that several female colleagues couldn’t handle it: one said it smelled like ‘old man’, another wrinkled her nose, and another just said she didn’t like it. I was floored by those negative reactions. To me, it feels elegant and refined; I think it’s the laurel note that becomes aromatic, cool, and slightly medicinal, causing those reactions. I absolutely love it.
It’s just a simple clove scent.
It reminds me a lot of Montale’s Arabians Tonka, but without that artificial cotton candy vibe. If you put them side by side, they’re almost twins. The Noir is greener and woodier, while the other is sweeter and more ambered. So delicious! The projection and trail are spectacular.
At first, the fig hugs you with a sweet, juicy embrace, balanced by a touch of wood. Then, everything softens and settles into a dry hay, fig, and sweet tobacco blend—very comforting. The trail is moderate and lasts about 12 hours. It’s unisex but leans feminine, like a softer version of Santal 33. It shines in spring and summer for casual outings. I didn’t give it two chances before because the brand had disappointed me, but this is a masterpiece. It gives me so much peace that I want to spend a fortune and grab the 100ml bottle. Pleasant: 10/10, Interesting: 8/10, Versatile: 8/10, Original: 8/10
