About Louis Vuitton Matiere Noire

Matiere Noire takes a darker approach to florals. The blackcurrant and rose open together, creating a slightly tart, almost wine-like quality. There is nothing sweet or pretty about this rose — it feels withered and mature. The narcissus adds a green, slightly bitter undertone. As it dries down, the patchouli and cypriol wood create a dark, earthy foundation. Agarwood appears late in the wear and gives it a smoky depth. This is an evening fragrance for someone who wants florals without the typical femininity. Interesting and slightly polarizing.
