About this fragrance

Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.

Noir Aphrodisiaque by Kilian, released in 2016, is a unisex floral fruity gourmand that opens with a striking quartet: dark chocolate, iris, cinnamon, and a bright citrus blend of bergamot and citron. The top notes alone set the tone—bitter cocoa and powdery iris laced with warm spice and a sharp, sunlit lift. Though heart and base notes are unspecified, the main accords tell the story: warm spicy (100%), chocolate (92%), citrus (84%), iris (70%), cinnamon (69%), and sweet (62%). This is a scent that leans heavily on its opening, so expect the chocolate and spice to dominate, with the citrus providing a fleeting but essential contrast.

For collectors, Noir Aphrodisiaque is a bold, gourmand-leaning composition that sits close to the skin and projects with intensity. It suits those who appreciate dark, edible facets without cloying sweetness—the iris adds a cool, almost austere counterpoint. Ideal for evening wear in cooler months, it’s unisex but may appeal more to those who enjoy spicy orientals. As a discontinued Kilian, it’s a niche find for completists.

中文簡介

Kilian 嘅 Noir Aphrodisiaque 喺 2016 年推出,係一支中性花香果香美食調。前調由黑朱古力、鳶尾、肉桂、佛手柑同檸檬組成,一開出就係苦甜可可同粉感鳶尾,加上暖辣同明亮柑橘,層次鮮明。雖然中調同基調無標明,但主調數據顯示:暖辣 100%、朱古力 92%、柑橘 84%、鳶尾 70%、肉桂 69%、甜 62%,所以朱古力同香料會主導,柑橘只係短暫點綴。

呢支香適合鍾意暗黑美食調、又唔想太甜嘅收藏家。鳶尾帶嚟冷靜嘅對比,令成支香唔會膩。最啱秋冬夜晚使用,中性但偏向鍾意辛辣東方調嘅人。作為停產嘅 Kilian,對收藏家嚟講係值得留意嘅選擇。
