    I love feysparrow's review below and agree totally. As much as I admire Caron's urn fragrances, I am sorry to admit that Or et Noir does not work well with my chemistry. Epithets like musty,...

    Or et Noir is mysterious and utterly ravishing. As another reviewer noted, Or et Noir is roses at twilight. The initial experience is the scent of deep pink roses at full bloom in a verdant...

    Beautiful and strong rose with spices and incense. I think it must have been the inspiration for Une Rose by Frederick Malle. As they both have the same intense and overpowering rose with the...

    This is one of those fragrances that intimidates me. A dense, dense chypre of a vintage style of perfumery, it is very difficult for me to do one of my "here are the notes, here are the emotions...

    Many thanks to MUA for introducing me to Caron and Or et Noir, in particular. I've been looking for my signature scent and this could be it. I ordered it as a 5ml decant from ebay-- purely from...

    The most beautiful "rose" scent I've tried. It is my favorite Caron extrait. The imagery I receive, while enjoying this exquisite scent, is that of an Victorian age. The color I see and feel is...

    The reviewers here have done a far better job than I could, so I will just say that I find this amazingly lovely--and that it makes me feel completely beautiful.

    My first thought with Or et Noir is that some romantic soul has covered a bed with a thick layer of soft, silky rose petals and I've fallen back on it...however, I suddenly sit up as I notice that...

    I loved reading the reviews here. This doesn't smell dark to me though. Weird. smellslikeleaves compares to Ce Soir. Ce Soir is also one of my most favorite rose scents. Probably my only...

    Or et Noir was love at first sniff for me. Others have described the notes, I will describe the feeling. Or et Noir blisses me out. When I smell it I swoon. This is by far the most beautiful...

    I was especially eager to try this fragrance because I am a huge fan of Caron, and because it is said to have been the inspiration for Parfum Sacre, which is one of my very favorite perfumes of all...

    I concur with all that has been said about this beautiful perfume. I am not fond of rose based perfumes but this one grabbed me by the heart. It is Rose with citrus undercurrants and reminds me a...

    Yes, this Caron excites me. It's a dark, strong, bold rose-oriental perfume that fears not. Or et Noir is even more dramatic than Nuit de Noel, as tempestuous and complex as some screen siren...

    I was lucky enough to try this and it's beautiful...it is indeed a slightly spicy, "oriental" rose. If "Parfum Sacre" is High Mass in a sumptuous cathedral, "Or et Noir" is the scent of the...

    This fragrance was created in 1949 as a darker, richer, slightly oriental version of Caron's Rose. It is utterly bewitching for even those who are not true Rose lovers. This fragrance inspired...
