I have Santal… 10/10 absolute. I have Lys… 7-8/10. And this The Noir… 9/10. I cannot give it the 10 because it lacks 5-7 more hours than the 8 Santal lasts to deserve that score (astounding, Santal’s longevity and rich aroma). But The Noir has its own… exquisitely unisex aroma. Recommended 100%.
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 10 because it lacks 5-7 more hours than the 8 it lasts, to deserve Santal… ‘s 10 out of 10 (brutal, Santal’s fixity and a rich aroma). But The Noir has its own thing… exquisitely unisex aroma. Recommended 100%.
I retract the 9 I gave to The Noir… 10!! Aromatic, feminine, masculine… floral all of a sudden… then woody… fresh. Everything, but in harmony. Wearing it for 3 days, I recognise it also deserves the 10. Scent 10/10, projection 10, longevity 10… cost… expensive, but you will not regret a Le Labo. I recommend *Santal… The Noir… Another 13… Oud… Lys*. Minimum, order a sample, they are 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 potent and somewhat complex slap, where, quickly upon drying, we can break down a fresh woody opening alongside notes of bergamot and a slightly sweet, talc-like creamy fig. In the heart phase, we continue with this fresh fig alongside the addition of the bay leaf note, a note I hadn’t had the opportunity to try before in any other perfume, along with some touches of cedar and musk. Here, the perfume takes a totally different path from the beginning, becoming slightly warmer and dangerously overwhelming if, for some reason, you over-spray. To finish, an exquisite tobacco that, the longer the drying time, the better it smells as hours pass. All this is supported by a base of black tea that, while not the protagonist, is present throughout almost the entire development of the composition. The sensation it imparts is quite pleasant, and when I smell it, I imagine a very strong, boiling, vaporous cup of black tea with some fig and bay leaves inside. While its opening is quite fresh, one must be careful with the sprays, as after half an hour its warm deployment could be quite heavy in high temperatures.

I do not have a perfumer’s nose, I am a common mortal. But I have curiosity about great aromas. I say I do not have a perfumer’s nose because this fragrance does not allow me to deconstruct its notes; I believe they are so well blended and the harmony so achieved that it becomes almost a unified scent that changes quite well in its phases. The first impression was tea with something fruity in the background. In the middle phase, I only distinguish textures; I think I have identified the fig notes well, both fruit and leaves, but it is so well blended that I distinguish it vaguely. It is a sweet-fruity composition, not cloying, also somewhat powdery and talc-like. Behind all this, one feels the tobacco mixed with vetiver, responsible for that talc-like sensation. It is a clean fragrance, somewhat poetic. Paintings of Renaissance gardens come to my mind; that is what I love about perfumes, that they can be as evocative as books. Given the brand’s price, it is 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 are right. I smell The Noir 29 and think of a young duchess entering adulthood, in her luxurious garden, telling her expert perfumer how she wants to smell. I see the perfumer travelling the world seeking special and costly ingredients to achieve the formula. It is incredible, it is different. Someone who is not of the common sort would wear it, someone who takes a step further, who does not follow the herd and knows about aromas. It is a classic yet modern scent, inexplicable. You can feel the black tea, woody, spaced with an earthy touch, and the green notes make it evoke a clean and welcoming smell. Is it worth the cost? Yes. Buying at that price makes perfect sense; they are offering something unique. It is noticeable that work went into it.
If you are overwhelmed by despair 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 resolute decision. 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 cedarwood, fig, and hay. There is a hint of rose, undeclared, probably due to the synergy of fig, musk, and tobacco. Everything tells a story. Perfumes do too, and for me, this fits the story of the father tormented by such a crossroads. I see The Noir 29 in 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 exquisite. I feel The Noir 29 should be the best-seller, not Santal 33; it is pure pleasure to wear. Here you have fig, bergamot, and a cedar-vetiver blend that is slightly sharp but nothing excessive. Truly refreshing and energising, it is a perfume to buy blind, without a doubt.
One day I searched for an aroma from the brand and this was the one that caught my attention most. I bought it narcissistically, put my name on the label to feel important and make up for childhood traumas. My colleagues made fun of me because I used the original Givenchy Gentleman while they used Axe smelling of 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 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 annoying, I felt 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 wardrobe, where the queen is Megamierdamare. In winter I tried it again: it’s very compact and difficult 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 sensation of suffocation, it goes through the nasal passages like Indurain climbing a mountain pass, it goes at a pace and it ends up killing you. It’s quite good, but I always have that sensation. I would like it to be softer and more restrained, because the first hour is very heavy and, as it doesn’t change, even more. When that hour passes it’s more bearable, but it kills me too much at the start.
I woke up with a craving to try something from the brand, and this scent immediately caught my eye. I looked it up online and on forums, and it only convinced me more, so I bought it. I did it in a rather narcissistic way, writing my name and surname on the label to feel important and cover up my emotional shortcomings stemming from childhood traumas. My classmates used to mock me because I wore Givenchy Gentleman Original while they were spraying Axe Chocolate or teenage sweat scents, but hey, I’d step up to the blackboard to solve quadratic equations like a proper gentleman. When the package arrived three months later, I’d already forgotten about the purchase. 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 significantly. Not because it was bad, but because it was very strong and, as the minutes passed, it became increasingly oppressive. It was a scent that suffocated me due to its density. True, we were in the middle of a heatwave in summer… 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’ drawer, where I have a few; the queen of that drawer is Megamierdamare. I tried it again in winter. The scent is very compact and difficult 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 scent and gives the sensation of drowning because it burrows into your nostrils; 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 aforementioned sensation. I’d like it to be softer and more restrained, because the first hour becomes very heavy, and since it’s a scent that doesn’t evolve, even more so. Once that hour passes, it’s more bearable, but it kills me too much at the start.
Personally, a very defined rose scent stands out to me, although it’s not in its notes, thanks to the combination of fig and black tea. With a clean and woody base but strong and intense. A delightful perfume. Performance needs no saying, you have no problems at all.
At first I was intimidated by its woody and slightly sharp opening, but upon drying I discovered its magic. A sweet fig and vetiver surrounded by black tea appear. The tobacco is very perceptible and with time only arrives in wisps; what endures 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 a non-declared tea note that is the queen of this aroma; it mixes with a soft rose and the tobacco ends up enveloping it. In summary, it’s a floral tea with figs and tobacco, exquisite.
The Noir 29 Le Labo: No, it’s not for everyone. The fig, bitter and refined, is the dominant partner to the bergamot and aromatic laurel, joining that lush undergrowth of hay and cedar wood. In my opinion it’s a treat, a different, fine, and natural aroma that conveys cleanliness, class, and personality. It’s not a trend fragrance or a young one; it’s an adult aroma that shows what success smells like. Its use is versatile: day, afternoon, night, office, or dates. A fragrance 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 like the unusual and the 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 is not a scent for everyone. The fig, so bitter and refined, makes the dominant partner to the always aromatic and strong bergamot and laurel, complementing with that lush hay vegetation joining the cedarwood. In my particular opinion, it is a treat, a different, fine, and natural aroma, just as I like it: that it conveys cleanliness, class, and personality. Of course, it is not a trend fragrance, nor young; it is 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. An aroma of luxurious class and sublime natural beauty. Like witnessing the beauty of a landscape without comparison, where you only enjoy what you perceive. It is a magnificent fragrance for distinguished people who like the unusual, precious, and superior. Scent: 11. Projection: good, 2 hours and still perceptible. Longevity: 8 hours, even longer on clothes. Highly recommended.
Without all the fuss about the citrus opening and the wood blah blah blah: if you would like to smell of funeral rose florals, Alcatraz Pum The Noir 29 is what you need.
I was gifted the 30ml edition. I like it; it’s refined, sweet, and citrusy; after a few hours it turns sweet and smoky. It feels more masculine than unisex to me, but it also has a floral touch. 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.
Fresh, woody, earthy, tea, floral. Spectacular.
a delight
Who on earth 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 smells of nothing floral or funereal; you can clearly detect the fruit (fig leaf), the woods, and the black tea (which they claim isn’t listed, but when it’s called black tea, why not? XD?). It’s a fantastic fragrance that bears no resemblance to Issey Miyake or any other, although the opening has a note that vaguely recalls Jo Malone. The fig leaf is unmistakable and, being a natural scent, the note is recognisable. It’s also not available in 30ml, so I see people reviewing it without knowing what they’re talking about. I repeat: do not gift expensive brands via Amazon, they will surely scam you; even if it looks the same, IT IS NOT. There are more reputable corners and shops, and if you fall for a scam, they will realise it in the end, hehe. Furthermore, the Fragrantica photo is not from the official website and I have doubts whether it’s original or a copy; the lettering is different and this perfume has not been reissued, they have always had the same typography; it’s the only one with strange letters, especially the “o”. In summary, this brand does not exist on Amazon, try the real thing, it’s worth it 🙂
Le Labo’s The Noir 29 is a spiced, floral and green fragrance. Its opening is spiced and green, slightly fresh, but after a few minutes a rose accord stands out, which aren’t declared or perhaps it’s an olfactory illusion, but I’m almost certain they contain roses. A fruity aroma is also perceived, but in the background, never surpassing the roses. After a few hours, a slightly sweet aroma remains, with a bit of tobacco and those famous roses. I find it elegant for both day and night use; although it is spiced, 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 could even be worn to work as a signature scent. Its longevity has been good, lasting over 8 hours, and its trail with a single spray was average. For some reason, at certain moments it reminded me a bit of Moschino’s Toy Boy, but less loud and more elegant. Anyway, I liked it, just as I like Toy Boy.
I won’t write a review because I haven’t tried it. I was reading the product details and the opinions of people who own it and was hugely shocked to read ADABARCELONA, who addresses people who (according to her) test or own fakes in a superb, rude and condescending manner. Precisely Le Labo sells in 15, 50, 100 and 500 ml formats on their website and at Harrods. Here is a review from someone who says they were gifted 30 ml and perhaps got confused with the number, but this lady didn’t waste time knocking it down. 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 have an approach to the perfume. This world is for everyone who appreciates it, not just for millionaires who don’t know what to do with their money. Lady, have more sensitivity, kindness and education as you would surely like to be treated.
Wow! Wow! Wow! Le Labo surprises me more and more. I first bought Santal 33 but didn’t understand it, gave it two chances, then tried Mirrhe 55 Shanghai and I loved it, it’s very sexy. Recently I tried this 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.
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 adore the scent. The brand recommends letting it mature for a month, but I’ve had it for two weeks. The opening and the smell upon opening the cap is undeniably black tea. Immediately after comes a slightly sweet fig. Then there’s a scent I initially felt was metallic; paying closer attention and checking the bergamot sample that came with the purchase, I realised 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 hints of tobacco. There’s a underlying sweetness that is definitely from the fig. It’s not cloying or sharp; it’s hot and I haven’t felt like I do with other perfumes (such as 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 who are passionate about Ombre Nomade or Pardon by Nasomatto.
I’m going to talk about The Black 82: the opening is feminine and gives me nausea. If you wear it from the elbow downwards, it smells quite nauseating; to me it reminds me of honey with natural rose. Perhaps the laurel leaf and fig are felt. Overall it’s a 6 out of 10. I wouldn’t recommend buying it blind nor would I purchase it. Of course, the Ilang 62 by Emper is worse, feminine and gives me a headache.
A beautiful perfume with an elegant trail—the kind a sophisticated Nordic girl might leave rolling her bike through Copenhagen. It’s a modern unisex scent that goes brilliantly with a mullet and an oversized Detroit t-shirt. It smells clean and simple, not a sharp molecular musk.
The Noir 29 reminds me of Natura Ekos Alma, which I like. I tried a 5 ml decant gifted by a colleague. Hmm, I wouldn’t buy the bottle as I already own two of the Ekos Alma and this smells more masculine and ‘dark’. Curiously, several female colleagues couldn’t stand it: one said it smelled of ‘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 simply a lovely scent.
It reminded me hugely 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, whereas the other is sweeter and more ambered. Delicious! The projection and trail are spectacular.
At first, the fig embraces you with a sweet, juicy note, balanced by a touch of wood. Then it softens and settles into a dry hay, fig and sweet tobacco blend—very comforting. The trail is moderate and lasts around 12 hours. It’s unisex but leans slightly feminine, like a softer Santal 33. It shines in spring and summer for casual outings. I didn’t give it two goes before because the brand had disappointed me previously, but this is a marvel. It brings me such peace that I’d happily splash out and take the 100 ml bottle. Pleasant: 10/10, Interesting: 8/10, Versatile: 8/10, Original: 8/10
