Cosmo’s Guide to the Best Noir Fragrances for Women

Just like the dark side of the moon, we all have private, inner worlds that are somber and pure. Personifying the same spirit of mystery and subtle sensuality are noir fragrances. With ‘noir’ being French for black, there are certain olfactory elements that are considered to be darker, heavier, and earthier than others in the industry. Notes like that of musk, patchouli, incense, tobacco, amber, woods, moss, et all that can remind one of night are commonly used to create many a noir fragrance. So, the next time you want to indulge in some mysterious fun or exude enigma effortlessly, here are some of your best noir perfumes that can help.
