Drakkar Noir

Drakkar Noir, a Classic Aromatic Fougere for Men

Drakkar Noir is one of the most iconic men’s scents ever made. Our version keeps that character, opening with green mint, basil, rosemary, and juniper before an angelica and cedarwood heart settles over oakmoss, patchouli, and wormwood.

The Story Behind the Scent

Guy Laroche built Drakkar Noir as a bold, masculine fougere, cool and herbal with a dark, mossy base. The idea was strong, confident masculinity, timeless and recognisable.

That bold freshness is why it became a classic. The mint and herbs keep it cool, the cedar adds warmth, and the mossy base makes it dark and grown up. Our interpretation follows that same classic path.
