    Real talk

    Not for those who want coffee-lite. This is dark, resinous, and unapologetically warm, the kind of sweet that grew up in a coffee shop, not a pastry case.Dark Roast
    Noir Exquis sits in a sweet spot between a Gourmand and a woody fragrance. The coffee and maple give it genuine richness, but the wood and heliotrope keep it from feeling like dessert.Noir Exquis
