S.T. Dupont Noir (for men)

I bought this for the gorgeous black statue-liked bottle.I couldn't say i made a mistake,because i was attracted to this gorgeous looking bottle.The scent inside is simply horrid,it's launched in 2006 but it's exactly liked the 80's kind of cologne or perfume,is there anything new nowadays？

one of the most vilest scents I have ever tried. Way too many scents and tones on an opening spray. Just awful.

I'm not a fan of this one. I was expecting something more gourmand. The opening notes are fresh and spicy, almost aquatic, then segues into a very spicy heart strong with nutmeg and cloves playing with the cardamom and lavender. I hardly smell the hazelnut and cashmere wood, only the remnants its spicy notes and of some vetiver and a sour patchouli. It totally went wrong on me.

I'm having a hard time associating this with Dupont scents. It really smelled cheap on me.

S.T. Dupont Noir is a very nice fragrance, successfully combining lavander and mint during its opening and hazelnut and vetiver on its base.

The packaging, as said before, is a masterpiece. The black box with its shining title and the bottle full of these diamond-looking things. Really nice and eye-catching.

Although it stays close to skin during its whole life, it lasts pretty well. Highly recommended for office wear or when you don't want a fragrance that announces your arrival from miles away.

My first review I wrote here in 02/24/09. Today, 05/11/09, after using S.T. Dupont Noir almost everyday at work, I can give a more strong opinion about it.

I bought the first bottle mostly because two reasons: 1) price, it was inexpensive (so, a mistake couldn’t be so terrible); and, 2) the very good reviews I read since then, here and there. My first impression when I first tried it, was that the scent itself had an aroma kinda cheap and rather generic (maybe that’s the reason why some would say that it looks with many others scents, and why it could evokes feelings of angry). But this impression, at least for me, vanishes quickly, as well the short strong (but not overwhelming) opening. Maybe I’m not describing it in the right way, but the opening looks a little cold, fresh, straight, and must be because the mint.

After that opening, what I have is a pleasant, really confortable smell, close to the skin. It’s not sweet as candy, flower, but a calm smell that seems to come from (?) nutmeg, lavander, cloves or other notes. It has been fitted very well with my chemistry, much more than the many fragrances I tried and bought lately, which includes brands like Bvlgari, Versace, Armani, Lacoste and even Chanel (in this case, Allure Edition Banche). Until I find another that I would like to use as daily/work wearing, this is proving to be a super safe choice for me, despite that relative common character. Doesn’t smell “expensive”, but I can see qualities.

Today I even like the opening. The longevity is very good, and has an interesting point: after the cold and straight beginning has gone, a warm smell follows me during a long period of the day. Finally, what I see, and I can note this very well specially on my shirt, is that a cold character came back.

Surely masculine!

But do not get carried away because this huge review; there is nothing spectacular here; actually, it's quite common. You definitely must try before buy.

As for me, I simply can not dislike this fragrance “:¬)

Great scent! very masculine and powering but not overwhelming and lasts a long time. Love the packaging... it was actually the reason why I bought it!

Wonderfull! So masculine and seductive. The Blanc for women also very very good. I love them both so much!
