What do reviewers say about The Noir 29 and Ekos Alma?
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
Part of Natura's Ekos collection, this one uses Brazilian botanicals you won't find in most fragrances anywhere else. Victoria amazonica gives the heart an almost contemplative green-floral quality.Ekos Alma
