The eau de parfum The New Noir by Swedish fast-fashion giant H&M was released in 2015. It is a women’s fragrance from the Oriental family, with moderate sillage.
For anyone looking for an affordable yet sophisticated oriental fragrance, The New Noir is a real find.
When it comes to H&M fragrances, many people often picture simple, affordable scents displayed in the cosmetics section.
However, the fragrance story of this Swedish retailer is a fascinating example of how a fashion brand can create truly successful olfactory hits.
The New Noir was released as a limited edition evening counterpart to the daytime Mandarin Gold.
Its name and minimalist black bottle hint at mystery and elegance—an ideal accompaniment for striking evening occasions.
The New Noir is dark, refined, and sophisticated. Created for unforgettable evenings, it lends its wearer an air of mystery, charm, and distinctive femininity.
A lush, luxurious rose accord intertwines with rich oud, while warm, creamy sandalwood adds sensuality.
This is an enigmatic fragrance that will perfectly complement an evening dress and leave an intriguing trail.
If you love The New Noir, consider Tom Ford Oud Fleur—a more expensive and complex interpretation of oud and rose—as well as Montale Aoud Red Flowers and Montale Aoud Shiny, in which oud and rose unfold in different nuances.
