What do reviewers say about The Noir 29 and Les Absolus d'Orient Patchouli Ardent?
Le Labo fragrances do not seduce on first spray. Thé Noir 29 asks you to commit to fig and bay leaf before rewarding you with cedar and vetiver. If you prefer immediate sweetness, look elsewhere.The Noir 29
The fig-pepper opening is a calculated move. Patchouli for people who'd usually run. By the time the rose arrives, you've already decided to stay. The rose-patchouli drydown converts skeptics.Les Absolus d'Orient Patchouli Ardent
