Description

A cult classic! An unforgettable scent with a scandalous reputation…between radiance and the depths of darkness, Narcisse Noir opposes two very different notes. Fresh and dazzling, neroli essence reveals its most radiant facets. An overdose of Mysore sandalwood essence infuses the perfume trail with the powerful velvety scent of this precious wood from India. The contrast between the two is radical. Totally hypnotic.

This creation captures several orange blossoms essences. The floral freshness of neroli. The green notes of petitgrain. The honeyed animal nuances of orange blossom absolute.

Narcisse Noir is the epitome of sensuality, a perfume trail that spells double trouble!

Story

With an unforgettable scent and a reputation for sensuality, our first major success has become an icon of perfumery. Launched in 1911, it revealed one of Ernest Daltroff’s most burning obsessions: white flowers. For his whole life, our founder was fascinated by these dual flowers, both innocent and untamed, luminous and full of mystery. Narcisse Noir is a memorable confession of those traits. Fashioned like a chiaroscuro, this fragrance is an impressive ode to the two faces of orange blossom. The tiny flower becomes a grand diva! Dramatic and exuberant, it exhibits its immense beauty – but also its darkest moods. This fragrance is a masterpiece of audacity and creativity, a legend at the peak of sensuality. It’s the signature of a feline woman with an untamable spirit. An angel and a demon at the same time.

DID YOU KNOW? As our most dramatic fragrance, this masterpiece was sure to please the stars of cinema. In 1947, it gave its name to the English film Black Narcissus, directed by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger. Three years later, on the set of Sunset Boulevard by Billy Wilder, the Hollywood star Gloria Swanson is said to have required that all the sets be sprayed with her cherished perfume: Narcisse Noir, as you will have guessed. True or not, this rumour has only served to feed the myth, making CARON a legend.

Best perfume ever

My favorite scent since a senior in high school! [I'm 73 now]
Almost impossible to find here in the USA, at least the Pacific Northwest as well as the internet. Looking forward to having it again...as soon as I learn how to get the site to do USA

Real perfume

This one stands with the top perfumes ever made- the perfumes like shalimar, Chanel no. 5, joy, and opium. To me it smells a little like bal a versailles, but better. This is not for people who are afraid of perfume. The dry down is exquisite.

Witch's potion

This is a poisonous flower that first attracts you with its divine scent and then kills you. I once applied it to myself before going to bed. It felt like the scent killed me and then brought me back to life again. Mystical and unusual scent with a vampire note of ammonia :))) I love it! Legend! Best version I've ever smelled. Bravo maestro Jean Jacques!

Narcisse Noir, my identity

I have been wearing Narcisse Noir for over forty years, since I lived in Paris during my university years. It is my true identity, and I am lost and undefined without it. I never share the name of Narcisse Noir as it is private and sacred to me, although many ask. Please never discontinue this magical perfume! Mille mercis ☮️.

Le Narcisse Noir

Je réitère mon plaisir puisque je viens de me ré- approvisionner d'une recharge du Merveilleux Narcisse Noir, si judicieusement placé dans la collection des Grands Caron mythiques.
Afin d'exprimer sa beauté flamboyante, il faudrait tremper notre plume dans un arc-en-ciel.
