Noir De Noir - Post a Scene to Describe It

I ordered a sample of Noir de Noir and anticipating it's arrival.

I'm wondering, to you all, what "vibe" does it give ? Of course, vibe depends on your personality, appearance, gender, and how the scent works with you as a whole. Where you live, where you are, weather etc

I'm 6"5 and 220 lbs,dark haired and dark eyed, have appreciable muscle mass, and favor wearing trimmed beards.

I've gotten compliments and remarks about looking like "Leonidas." Personality- debonair, urbane, direct , genuine, extremely facetious and fluent in sarcasm and deadpan.

Would Noir de Noir work for me ? Please post what scene NdN reminds you of, or what it evokes in you smelling it ?

Someone posted this photo to describe NdN, but I'm not sure what it means.

I think that it is best to wear while making up things about your appearance on internet forums.

hmmm, my impression of NdN is is dark smokey swirling whisps around a dark red and gold core. I suppose the yellow/gold is the saffron, the red is the rose and the darkness is the chocolate and oud, so it's actually a pretty obvious picture in my mind. My feeling about this one is something forbidden, alluring, tempting, and exotic. Something you'd see swirling around a belly dancer in a dark tent out in Arabia...


eh, just what comes to me whenever I smell it.

Free range diet? Is this serious. BTW, NdN is fantastic, but I can't think of a "scene".

Well had you have just stuck with the grass fed beef, Noir de Noir would have been perfect for a man of your stature and manliness. But you JUST had to go and throw in that free-range chicken in the mix didn't ya?!? Looks like you're going to have to pass on the Noir de Noir this time Leonidas. Next time double up on the beef and come back with your shield, or on it.

J/k I think Noir de Noir will work on anybody. I don't find it too feminine. I did at first, but I grew to appreciate it. It's one of my faves now.

Noir de Noir:

I've been dead for a few hours and the stench of decay is in full swing....

(FIN)

Was not a fan of this, and actually found it a little sickening to my stomach.
