    Real talk

    The clove here isn't a polite seasoning, it bites. Combined with frankincense that reads more resinous smoke than church, Noir sits in territory that could veer costume if it weren't held so firmly.Noir
    In 1994, Dior's Pierre Bourdon built this for someone who wants warmth without sacrificing elegance. The fruit-spice combo is distinctive, not safe. Sweet enough to make you smell good.Dolce Vita
