    4 stars for modern extrait which in its dry down is darker and less sweet than vintage l'arte di gucci EDP (not EdT). The original gold leaf mid century vintage is 5 stars; it would obviate my need...

    This review is for the urn parfum. It started out with marigold, which is okay if you only put on a tab, but bad if you put it only liberally. It then progresses into a soapy rose. It's...

    A gorgeous, gorgeous perfume! Definitely a love-at-first-dab affair for me. Caron sent me a sample along with a tiny bottle of their Rose extrait, which was being discontinued. Or et Noir is a...

    Just to add to the raves below, Or et Noir mimics a fine attar and would certainly stand up to any of the exorbitantly price niche attars from Amouage, etc. Ok, maybe it's not *quite* as tenacious...

    This unfolds a bit bright on me, due to the chypre. It does turn soapy, but simultaneously retains the full, rich oiliness of the roses without being overpowering. The middle and base notes are...

    I wore this recently for my wedding :) I have many fragrances on my dresser but only this is wedding-worthy. It went well with the red roses and aromatic lily's in my bouquet :)

    I am in love, beyond all reason, with this fragrance! In search of the perfect rose scent, I've tried/bought a multitude but, with the exception of Ce Soir au Jamais, have been disappointed. ...

    Such high hopes, utterly crushed. I knew the opening might be rough, and its harsh soapiness did not disappoint in that regard. I resisted the strong urge to scrub, waiting for the magnificent...

    Be prepared for a wintery blast of floral when you first apply the scent. But as other MUAers have so eloquently said already, the drydown is heavenly, and well worth the 1-2 punch of the first...

    Wait for the drydown - good advice for perfume-sampling, but how often do we really heed it? At first sniff, Michel Morsetti's rose-laden creation Or et Noir might seem impossibly big, dramatic,...

    I am mystified by the "dark rose" descriptions. To me, dark rose equals... well... "Dark Rose" by Czech & Speake: rose with leather and oud wood and incense and other "dark" ingredients. Or et...

    Each new discovery reaffirms my impression, possibly shared by many, that most of our beloved Caron perfumes are noted for - shall we say - CHALLENGING top notes. Pick up the gauntlet, and you're...

    Try it a few times! I almost gave this sample away, Way too heavy & diva dramatic I thought, not my idea of rose.. That was how it smelled the 1st 2 tries, but I gave it one more chance and now I...

    Or et Noir starts out tea rose, soft soapy on my skin, then turns into a sweet berry-amber rose -dark and mysterious.

    Or et Noir starts off rather heavy and musty, but then it morphs into a gorgeous purple rose, incense, carnation and woods blend with just a touch of something sweet. This is definitely a rose I'd...
