About This Perfume
Think cool sea breeze with bergamot, violet-lavender: that is Louis Cardin Empower Noir. It opens with sea water, bergamot and melon, moves into lavender, violet and rose and settles on patchouli, cedar and sandalwood. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de parfum works across all four seasons and is a daytime scent. A good pick for casual days. Released in 2020.
In the community's experience it lasts roughly a working morning or afternoon, and projects to about arm's length.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something fresh and powdery for casual days.
- Sample first if: woody is new territory for you.

Around $27.
