Jean Lowe Noir

Jean Lowe Noir from Maison Alhambra is a floral amber with a dark, smoky edge. Everyone who describes it calls it floral and amber-like, and about half also find it sweet, woody, resinous or leathery.

The notes are given as one list. Rose is the floral centre, deepened by geranium, which adds a sharper, greener rosiness. Raspberry brings a tart fruitiness that sits well against the flower, and saffron adds a dry, leathery spice. Agarwood and birch supply the darker side: birch in particular smells tarry and smoky, like leather and campfire, and incense adds a dry resinous haze. Benzoin and amber close it with a sweet, balsamic warmth that holds everything together.

Jean Lowe Noir is worn by anyone. It is a cool-weather, evening fragrance by character, dense and dramatic, and it suits people who like a dark fruity rose with smoke and leather behind it rather than a soft or fresh floral.
