About This Perfume
Avon Christian Lacroix Noir comes across as smoky cedar, powdery iris, ginger licorice warmth. It opens with ginger, saffron and licorice, moves into orris root, cardamom and moss and settles on white cedar extract, musk and vetiver. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.
This fragrance is best in spring, fall and winter and is easy to wear day or night. A good pick for casual days. Released in 2007.
In the community's experience it lasts a solid half day on skin, and projects to about arm's length.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something woody and powdery for casual days.
