Couture Noir

Couture Noir is a green, fruity leather from Ahmed Al Maghribi, worn by anyone. Gourmand, green, woody, floral, leathery and citrusy are all words everyone uses for it, which is unusual agreement and suggests each stage of the scent is clearly distinct from the last.

Apple and lemon open it, the apple crisp and slightly sweet, the lemon sharp and clean, so the start is bright and juicy and is where the sweet, gourmand impression comes from. The heart is where it turns darker: lily of the valley brings a dewy, green, soapy freshness, but it is paired with leather, smooth and slightly smoky, and patchouli, earthy and damp, so the flower reads as a bright spot in a shadowy middle. The base is moss, musk and amber, the moss damp and bitter, the musk soft and skin-like, the amber a gentle, resinous warmth that rounds off the finish.

It is a scent for cooler weather, daytime or evening, worn by anyone who likes green, mossy fragrances with a fruity opening and leather at the core.
