Zaharoff Signature Noir EDP, Sample
Zaharoff Signature Noir by Zaharoff is an Amber Woody fragrance for men, launched in 2020, with Claude Dir as the talented perfumer behind its creation. Building on the sophistication of the original Zaharoff Signature, this iteration deepens the olfactory experience with enriched and intensified notes. At the opening, the bright, zesty sparkle of mandarin orange and bergamot interplays with the aromatic spiciness of pink pepper, basil, and coriander, creating a vibrant yet refined introduction.
As the fragrance evolves, it unveils its heart where the green, resinous character of cypress and balsam fir melds with the delicate, floral touch of freesia. Virginia cedar adds a dry, woody facet, while ginger and anise provide a warm, spicy nuance, crafting a complex and intriguing middle that captivates the senses. This heart is both dynamic and harmonious, setting a deeply engaging tone.
Finally, the base notes emerge, rich and enveloping, with the smoky, mystical presence of agarwood and the balsamic warmth of olibanum and myrrh. Australian sandalwood contributes a creamy, soft undertone, while the sweetness of tonka bean rounds out the composition, leaving a lingering impression of depth and elegance. This fragrance offers a profound experience, perfect for those who appreciate a darker, more intense olfactory signature.
