What It Is: Angelica Flower paired with opulent vanilla - its powerful and polarizing opposite. What It Does: In the world of perfumery, Angelique Noire performs what is known as a spectacular choreography of opposites. All too often weakly dosed due to its bitterness, this angelica flower reveals itself after coming into contact with opulent vanilla - its powerful and fascinating opposite. Accompanied by pink peppercorn and cedar, the contrast is irresistible. Seldom used by perfumers, angelica is distinguished by its verdant, bitter notes, bringing to the fragrance a breath of freshness right from the top. Half-angel, half-demon, the verdant, crisp, and herbal bitterness of angelica is kept at bay by the enveloping sweetness of vanilla. Like in the classic ballet in which white swan and black swan are locked in a merciless struggle, Angelique Noire portrays a bittersweet confrontation. Angelique Noire incorporates two essences produced in France, namely angelica seed essence and angelica root essence.
