Poise Noire Yardley — one of those scents that needs no introduction. A feminine fragrance from the floral family. A fragrance from the Poise collection, in eau de parfum.
Made in the United Kingdom. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
A scent you'll want to wear again and again — discovering something new every time. The official website of Yardley — http://www.royalapothic.com.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The scent of Poise Noire unfolds as a continuous scent journey, where notes flow smoothly and sequentially. The creative approach of Yardley is recognizable in the pacing of the notes and the overall aesthetic. Nothing here feels random, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Eau de parfum sets the right density and pace of development.
In the top tier you catch cardamom-peppery opening notes: Black Pepper, Blackcurrant and Mandarin. These 3 notes build warm spicy pulse that gives the fragrance a clear opening statement.
When the opening settles you detect Jasmine, Peony and Water Lily holding a velvety rose-iris direction.
The accord profile is shaped by these accords: Citrus, Floral, Fruit and Musc without random overlap. Additional accords such as Wood and Spicy enrich the profile without taking over.
At olfactory-group level the structure relies on Spicy, Fruit, Citrus and Whiteflower. It also reaches into Floral, Wood and Musk. From a family perspective the composition sits in Floral.
Taken together Poise Noire reads as a cohesive composition — the start forms character, the middle layer carries the identity, and the base secures the trail. These are the scent structures best experienced through real development.
