What do reviewers say about L'Insomnuit and Noir de Noir?
L'Insomnuit stands out in the Piguet lineup for its nocturnal character. The plum note is genuine, not candy-like, and the fir adds an unexpected coolness that keeps things interesting.L'Insomnuit
Noir de Noir leans harder into earth than into sweetness. The black rose is beautiful, but the truffle and oud make it feel nocturnal rather than romantic.Noir de Noir
