Serge Lutens Poivre Noir EDP in detail
Poivre Noir EDP comes from Serge Lutens. This one is the Eau de Parfum.
Price and value
The usual price in Europe is about €115. That puts it in the middle price range. It costs less than Tom Ford Noir and Amour De Paris Spicy Leather.
Longevity on skin
It stays on skin for about 6 to 9 hours, so one spray in the morning can carry you through the day. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last. It lasts about as long as Tom Ford Noir and Granado Boemia unisex. Base notes like black pepper and cedar are the part that stays longest on the skin.
Other Serge Lutens perfumes
The house has 48 perfumes here, led by Ecrin De Fumee, De Profundis unisex and Un Bois Vanille.
Poivre Noir for work or evenings
It works better at night than in the day, so it is a good pick for evenings, dinners and going out. Its warm spicy side feels cosy and rich after dark. For daytime, Amour De Paris Spicy Leather is a lighter match.
Sillage and projection
Projection is medium: people near you can smell it. Three or four sprays give a good balance.
