What do you get when an edgy perfumer like Mark Buxton creates a fragrance for a company rooted in classicism and quality like Van Cleef & Arpels? Cologne Noire, of course. Using the best raw materials in perfumery, Buxton twists our idea of an eau de cologne into something fresh, modern, and sexy--but resolutely elegant. Cologne Noire starts with the bracing, citrus foundation of a traditional cologne, but layered over it are the surprise sophistication of ginger, cardamom, and black pepper. Warm, woody notes ground and smooth the composition. A splash of Cologne Noire, and you feel alert, refreshed, and ready to face whatever the day holds. Cologne Noire"s fresh but spicy feel make it perfect for men or women and for just about any occasion. If we had to toss one fragrance in our suitcase for a spur-of-the-moment trip, it would be Cologne Noire.
