Cologne Noire
Van Cleef & Arpels · Eau de Parfum (EDP) · 2009
Cologne Noire (2009) reworks the classic eau de cologne structure with a darker, spicier edge, layering ginger, cardamom and pepper over bright citruses. Mark Buxton's woody base gives this Collection Extraordinaire scent more depth and lasting power than a traditional cologne.
