Description
Enter the legendary allure of Narcisse Noir Parfum, a cult classic with a scandalous reputation that navigates the delicate balance between radiance and darkness. This fragrance, a masterpiece of contrasts, orchestrates an unforgettable olfactory journey by pitting two distinct notes against each other. On one side, the fresh and dazzling neroli essence unfolds its most radiant facets, creating an initial burst of brilliance. On the opposing side, an overdose of Mysore sandalwood essence takes the stage, infusing the perfume trail with the potent, velvety aroma of this precious wood from India. The radical interplay between these two elements is nothing short of hypnotic—a symphony of light and shadow captured in a single bottle.
Within this captivating creation, multiple orange blossom essences come to life. The floral freshness of neroli, the green notes of petitgrain, and the honeyed animal nuances of orange blossom absolute intertwine to form a multi-faceted bouquet that epitomizes sensuality. Narcisse Noir transcends being merely a fragrance; it becomes a double-trouble trail, leaving an indelible mark that reflects the duality of its radiant and mysterious character.

STORY
Launched in 1911, CARON's inaugural triumph, Narcisse Noir, remains a perfumery icon, embodying founder Ernest Daltroff's fascination with white flowers. This chiaroscuro masterpiece unveils the dual nature of orange blossom—a tiny flower transformed into a grand diva. As dramatic as it is exuberant, Narcisse Noir captures the flower's immense beauty and darkest moods. A legend of audacity and creativity, it serves as the signature scent for the untamable, feline woman—simultaneously an angel and a demon.
Did you know?... In 1947, Black Narcissus became synonymous with cinema glamour, inspiring the English film of the same name. Hollywood's Gloria Swanson reportedly demanded the sets of Sunset Boulevard be sprayed with her favorite perfume, Narcisse Noir, adding to the legend of CARON.
