I Do, Noir

Perfume No. 1 is a love story told in scent. Dark yet radiant, intimate yet bold. A fragrance where overripe fruit melts into the night air, and roses bloom under the fading warmth of a sun that refuses to surrender completely.

Inspired by my travels through the Middle East, where the air hums with the aroma of ripe fruit, Moroccan roses, and sun-warmed wood, this perfume unfolds like a secret whispered at dusk.

Imagine stepping inside an old riad, where sunlight streams through arches, casting golden, fractured patterns across intricate handcrafted tiles. The air is thick with the scent of citrus—neroli, bitter orange—ripening under the heavy heat. Their zest mingles with the green ivy clinging to cool, damp stone in the corner.

As the light fades, the brightness of citrus gives way to a deeper pulse—the velvet hush of roses unfolding in the evening air. Moroccan Rose Damascena and Rose Otto bloom in opulent layers, their velvety petals brushing against the deep ruby sweetness of raspberry absolute. To weave these textures together, I introduced Davana, a honeyed, golden essence with a jammy warmth that binds fruit and flower like liquid sunlight.

The transition into the base is where it turns tender. Vanilla tincture from Madagascar drapes the florals in a creamy softness, warm as sunlit amber. Geranium absolute brings a whisper of green spice, sharp and fresh. Then tonka bean absolute unfurls with a toasted richness, opening the door to cedarwood and patchouli. Finally, Ambroxan and white musk hover like a veil of warm silk, trailing softly along the skin, ensuring the memory clings long after the final notes have faded.

This is not just a fragrance. It is the glow of twilight on skin, the last breath of a vow spoken under fading light. A scent for those who believe that love, like fragrance, is richest when it is complex, layered, and unforgettable.
