Ombre Noire, composed by Lalique in 2017, opens on fig, mint and bergamot, the latter two sharing a common freshness. The heart combines tobacco, cinnamon and papyrus, while the base brings together cognac, myrrh and olibanum, the myrrh and olibanum meeting on balsam.
Fig, sweet and green, opens the top alongside mint and bergamot; the latter two share the same freshness, one mentholated, the other fruity.
Tobacco, honeyed and almondy, sits at the heart alongside cinnamon, bark-like and woody, and papyrus, dry and evoking old paper.
Cognac, vanillic and candied with orange, accompanies myrrh and olibanum at the base: both balsamic, one warm, the other mineral.
