Coeur De Noir 50ml Beaufort London

Coeur De Noir Eau De Parfum – Here we consider the relationship between the sea and the art it has inspired.

Pen and ink drawings of yachts, old libraries of nautical fiction and tattoos are all referenced here in this warm, dark fragrance. Accords of Black Ink dominate; west Indian spiced rum; papers lost and found; the familiar dry accords of leather bound books balanced with warm enigmatic notes of vanilla pipe tobacco. All finely based around a dark heart of birch tar and labdanum.

A rich fragrance in which ‘overdosed’ concentrations of key ingredients are used. Black Ink, West Indian spiced rum; the familiar, dry accords of leather bound books combine with warm smoky notes of pipe tobacco. A ‘dark heart’ of birch tar and labdanum was employed to create an extremely tenacious fragrance. In trying to capture the scent of ‘old books’ it was revealed that when paper degrades over time it produces a compound akin to vanillin -This warm, inviting aspect was emphasised as a result, rounding the composition.

Strong on the skin, so only a little can go a long way.

Perfumer Julie Dunkley was tasked with creating a rich, striking fragrance that was both warm and inviting yet also has a very dark side.
