Chocolat Noir

Chocolat Noir, from the French brand The Pink Artist, is a gourmand fragrance released in 2023. Sweet and woody sides lead equally.

The composition is short and focused. Cacao pod and cocoa give a rich, dark, bittersweet chocolate note, more like a bar of dark chocolate than a sugary sweet, with a slightly dusty, roasted edge. Patchouli brings the woody side: earthy, slightly damp and dark, it pairs naturally with cocoa, deepening its bitterness and giving the composition a grown-up, almost forest-floor quality. The result is a dark, dry chocolate scent rather than a dessert.

Worn by anyone, it suits autumn and winter, evenings, cosy days and moments when a warm, comforting scent feels right. It should appeal to those who like dark chocolate and patchouli, and who prefer their gourmands bitter and earthy rather than candied, a minimalist, intense take on chocolate.
