The Scent: Notes, Structure & Dry-Down

Jean Lowe Noir opens with Incense and Raspberry — an assertive first impression that carries across a room. Give it twenty or thirty minutes and the middle act arrives: Rose, Birch and Geranium. What lingers on skin and clothing hours later is the base: Oud, Benzoin, Amberwood and Saffron.

Strip it back to the bones and the profile reads Amber, Smoky, Oud, Warm Spicy, Leather — close enough to its inspiration to scratch the same itch.
