About Gilles Cantuel Noir EDP
Noir EDP is made by Gilles Cantuel. Its strength is Eau de Parfum.
Noir for work or evenings
This is more of an evening scent: it shines at dinners, dates and nights out. Its sweet side feels cosy and rich after dark.
How long it lasts
This is a long lasting scent: expect about 9 to 12 hours on skin. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last. It lasts longer than Tom Ford Noir Extreme and Tom Ford Oud Wood. Base notes like sandalwood and vanilla are the part that stays longest on the skin.
Price per bottle size
