Eau Noire

By Francis Kurkdjian

"Dior Eau Noire is a unique blend that balances spicy and green accords with a woody base, presenting a sophisticated yet approachable fragrance. The essence of thyme and sage creates an aromatic opening, leading to a heart of lavender and cedar, before settling into a sweet, gourmand finish of liquorice and vanilla. Perfect for those who appreciate originality."
