    A big yuck! A big PURPLE yuck. Overripe stink flower and some coconut. It reminds my novice nose of either Alien or Organza Indécence and I am looking on-line at the notes of those two to try to...

    Datura Noir is a heartbreak fragrance for me and, above all, a big, BIG tease. I've never sniffed black datura, so even if this scent was a perfect rendition of its actual smell, I couldn't...

    Datura Noir is difficult to describe. The notes make it sound very gourmand, but I don't find it to be particularly sweet or foody. There's a clean bitterness to it that keeps it from being too...

    First of all, I can see why one reviewer who said if you don't like almond scents, don't even bother with this one. However, I strongly dislike apricot in fragrances, and it's detectable here; but...

    This is an adventurous scent, to say the least. It appears as though you either like Datura Noir or you don't. It's not my kind of scent, but this gets brownie points for being unique. The staying...

    Cannot wear this. Very gourmand. The almond, heliotrope, apricot and coconut are way over the top foody.. though there are other ingredients. This is too much food for me.

    I have this in the 5ml mini and at first, I think it's rather average but nice. It's slightly bitter/minty with almond, coconut, datura, tuberose and sandalwood to my nose. Then I discover if I...

    The first thing I sniffed was toothpaste. After awhile, it turned into an almondy toothpaste. Not for me.

    This fragrance has a slight bitter note to it that makes it very interesting to me-- almost a licorice note or something. Underneath that is creamy white datura petals, very tropical feeling--...

    To my nose, there is nothing 'noir' about this little baby. No, it feels like a colony of tuberose fairies, all dressed in pink and white, have taken up residence on my body. This is sad because...

    I went on a longish trip last winter to Scandinavia. Very near the top of my packing essentials, after 5,437 layers of clothing, was Datura Noir. Just like the bright, clear colors used in...

    This is the first Serge Lutens fragrance that I actively dislike. I find it cloying and strangely foody, and floral and food notes usually don't mix well together on my skin. In fact, I find the...

    Very interesting fragrance. A bit unusual and very yummy-edible on my skin. It reminds me of some almond/coconut ice-cream that I used to eat whan I was a child. That's probably the reason why I...

    While the top notes deliver the promise of datura with delicious similitude, it is the middle stage of Datura Noir that sends me -- the delicate richness of creamy white velvet petals carried by a...

    I spent a good deal of time trying to recollect what this one smells like. After a bit I realized that it smells similar to the mimosa trees of where I grew up. USA, the South. Not quite as powdery...

    I wore this every day when I visited Singapore for a few weeks. It smells like a rich exotic flower which made me feel at home in the humid, tropical climate. It is very sweet and creamy and if I...

    Like cocopuff72 it smells like frangipane on my skin although it's datura that is meant to be the key 'ingredient'. It's subtly present on my skin and very feminine. One of SL's better fragrances.

    Dautra Noir works as a lovely winter fragrance. My untrained nose smells vanilla among other notes in this comforting powdery mix. My only complaint is it doesn't last long.

    Very lush & creamy, has a warm, slightly tropical scent after the drydown that reminds me of this godlike orchid candle that I'm addicted to. (Odd...but that's what it smells like on...
