Matière Noire (EDP)

"Matière Noire is a dark floral-woody Eau de Parfum created for Louis Vuitton by Jacques Cavallier. It opens with a vivid contrast between sweet blackcurrant syrup and watery freshness. The heart combines rose, cyclamen, narcissus, and jasmine sambac, giving the fragrance a rich and textured floral character. Agarwood, patchouli, incense, and benzoin deepen the composition with woody, smoky, and resinous facets. Its overall character is mysterious, dramatic, and distinctly oud-leaning rather than conventionally light or traditionally feminine. The fragrance is recognized for balancing fruity brightness with a deep, shadowy base."
