🇫🇷 French Perfumes!😶‍🌫 Long Lasting and Intense Scents!👍 Fraction of the Cost of Designer Fragrances

PRODUCT DETAILS

Blackest Black is bottled as a 50 ml eau de parfum with close to 20% fragrance oil. €25 buys it, and that is our price for every fragrance in the range. Free shipping applies from €49 and delivery takes 2 to 5 working days.

Noir de Noir is sold as an eau de parfum in Tom Ford's Private Blend line, so Blackest Black matches that same concentration rather than a lighter eau de toilette. It stops short of extrait de parfum territory, but the rose and oud accord still reads dense and long-lasting, and the truffle heart, or middle notes, is what most reviews single out as unusual for a fragrance this dark.

Longevity runs 6 to 10 hours. French oils, small batches, filled by hand, vegan and cruelty free. Fifteen days to exchange it if it isn't the fit you expected.

NOTES

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Blackest Black is our perfume dupe of Tom Ford Noir de Noir, built for anyone who wants that dark, velvety rose without chasing down the Private Blend line. It opens on saffron, moves into a heart of black rose, truffle and floral notes, and settles on patchouli, vanilla, oud and oakmoss.

The saffron warmth fades fast and gives way to the rose within the first hour, and it smells like the original from there on: dense, a little smoky, and never sharp. Sillage is heavy for the first stretch, then it pulls in close and sits on skin as a slow, dark trail.

Blackest Black is one of the darker fragrances in our range, and it works as a genuine alternative to Noir de Noir rather than a loose guess inspired by the name alone. Reviews of Tom Ford's rose fragrances often mention this one in the same breath, and it is closer to those scents than most drugstore perfumes ever get.

Perfume concentration

EDT, EDP or EXDP - what you are actually buying

The difference between these labels is not quality but how much perfume oil sits in the bottle. That decides how long the scent stays on your skin and how far it travels.

EDT Eau de Toilette 5 to 15% perfume oil

The lightest of the three. It opens fresh and fast, but fades after three to five hours. Pleasant in heat and at the office, as long as you top it up during the day.

Our choiceEDP Eau de Parfum ~20% perfume oil

The middle ground that became the standard. It lasts six to eight hours, one spray in the morning is enough, and the scent stays recognisable into the evening without filling the room.

EXDP Extrait de Parfum 20 to 40% perfume oil

The densest form, worn in drops, and it can last over ten hours. In return it loses that easy opening, and the price per bottle climbs the most.

Why we chose EDP

Every Chez Pierre perfume is made in Eau de Parfum concentration, with 20% perfume oil. That is not by accident.

An eau de toilette would mean carrying the bottle with you and refreshing the scent after lunch. An extrait would push the price up, and only someone counting hours would notice the gain. EDP sits exactly in between: one spray in the morning carries the whole working day, and the scent opens and develops instead of settling on the skin at once.

So we don't make lighter and pricier versions of the same scent. We make one, in the concentration where that scent works best.

How a perfume is measured

Longevity, projection and sillage

Three things describe every perfume, whatever the price or the name on the bottle. Once you separate them, it is easier to say what you actually want from a scent.

01

Longevity

How many hours the scent stays on skin

Measured from the moment you spray to the moment you can no longer smell it up close. It depends on the concentration, but also on your skin: on dry skin every perfume lasts less, so a dab of unscented cream before spraying helps.

02

Projection

How far it travels around you

Strongest in the first hour, it tells you how much space the scent takes up. Big projection is great for evenings and colder days, while at the office or in a meeting it usually gets in the way more than it helps.

03

Sillage

The trail you leave behind

Pronounced „see-yazh“, it means the trail a scent leaves behind you. It is the reason someone turns around as you pass. A perfume can last a long time and still leave a small trail, and the other way round.

Strong is not the same as good. A perfume with huge projection quickly tires both you and the people around you, while one without any trail stays your own private thing.

That is why every one of our perfume descriptions says how it wears, not only how it smells.

CHOOSE YOUR LIFESYLE

Blackest Black

Inspired by: Noir de Noir, Tom Ford

Blackest Black belongs to autumn and winter, when the rose and oud have somewhere darker to sit; unlike lighter florals built for summer, this one saves its energy for cooler months. One spray is enough; this isn't a scent that needs topping up. This fragrance rewards patience, so give it a few minutes before deciding, since the saffron opening is brighter than the rest of the fragrance ever gets.

It suits formal nights and date nights far more than a desk job, sitting somewhere between a masculine oud and a feminine floral, worn by women and men in equal numbers. It reads as genuinely unisex, and it's an affordable choice whenever the occasion calls for something darker.

Choose our Inspiration

Tom Ford is an American luxury house, and Noir de Noir arrived in 2007 as part of the Private Blend collection, the tier built for people who want something a step beyond the designer range. It's since become one of the fragrances that regularly comes up on lists of niche and gothic florals.

Most people shorten the name to Noir de Noir or just Noir, and that's the version that shows up on forums whenever someone is comparing perfume dupes and clones chasing the same dark rose.

Why choose us?

Blackest Black is our alternative to Tom Ford Noir de Noir, our own blend built to sit close to the original and made with French fragrance oils, filled by hand in small batches.

We only make it as an eau de parfum, since that concentration lets the rose heart hold onto the smoky oud base instead of thinning out. If it doesn't come close to what you remember, send it back within 15 days and we'll sort an exchange.
