Fragrance information:

Laurence Dumont is a French perfume house where family heritage meets an unbridled passion for fragrance.

In 2011, the brand introduced Vanille Noire, a women's fragrance from the Oriental family.

Released as an eau de parfum, it has a noticeable sillage—a true statement-making trail.

Character and Mood

Vanille Noire is not merely vanilla, but its dark, sensual side. The fragrance is built on a contrast of spices and sweetness: bold, rich, and irresistibly alluring.

The composition is perfect for evening outings, colder weather, and moments when you want to feel mysterious and desirable.

Thanks to its impressive longevity and intense sillage, just a few sprays are enough to leave an unforgettable impression.

How to Wear It and Who It Suits

This fragrance is for true gourmand lovers who are not afraid of bold accents. It pairs beautifully with a leather jacket, an evening dress, or a cozy cashmere sweater.

Vanille Noire unfolds most fully on clean skin, but it also smells wonderful on clothing, leaving behind its warm, spicy trace.

If you are looking for a fragrance that will be noticed and remembered, you have found it.

Key fragrance characteristics

Perfume information

Description of the composition

The top notes unfold in a bold duet of black pepper and pink pepper, framed by warm cinnamon.

At the heart, rose, ylang-ylang, and spicy clove create an intoxicating floral-spicy accord. The base is velvety vanilla, enveloping everything in a sweet yet never cloying cloud.

This is a complex, multi-layered composition in which each ingredient plays its part in creating a distinctive “black” character.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

This fragrance came to me completely by chance. For the first five minutes, it reminded me of a Soviet cough syrup, and then it started to smell cozy, like rum and coke or whiskey. I can detect a smoky cherry pit, and it seems cinnamon plays its part. There's no vanilla here, but vanillin is present. Fortunately, this cheap note isn't too intrusive and quickly disappears. Overall, the fragrance is very pleasant and cozy, with a slight gourmand touch. The vanilla substitute was a bit of a letdown, but everything else is excellent! For its price - a real find! If it had more depth and longevity, it could earn a spot on the shelf of masterpieces. As it is, it's just a pleasant everyday scent for enthusiasts. It's blended very well, nothing sticks out, it doesn't want to break down into individual notes. Cozy and warm - that's how it can be described. It makes you want to go to the dacha, sit by the fireplace, wrap yourself in a blanket, and enjoy a hot cocktail, watching the fire and snow outside, chatting with friends. The sillage is weak, and longevity is about six hours. It's an oriental-leaning fragrance, could easily be released by Arab perfume houses in their European line. I don't recommend buying it without testing, as it can either be cloying or smell like medicine in large doses 😌
