About the Fragrance

Noir Kogane is a tribute to Kintsugi, the traditional Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with lacquer mixed with powdered gold, which celebrates the beauty of imperfections. The fragrance is a complex blend of spicy notes, a singular leather accord and an intense oud accord. Its opulence is expressed through the deep intensity of these three notes, creating a unique and captivating scent. It is housed in a bottle adorned with gold veins, evoking the art of Kintsugi.
