Matiere Noire

Parfumour’s Interpretation of Louis Vuitton Matiere Noire

Matiere Noire is a dark fruity oud scent, and our version keeps that mood: a juicy berry opening, a rich floral heart, and a deep oud and woody base.

The Story Behind the Scent

Louis Vuitton built Matiere Noire around a mysterious, dark character, pairing juicy fruit with a rich floral and a deep oud and agarwood base for something elegant and enveloping.

Our interpretation follows that character. We keep the blackcurrant and raspberry juicy up top, let rose, cyclamen and narcissus carry the middle, and finish on a deep oud, agarwood and patchouli base.

How Our Version Compares to the Original

The original is an exclusive Louis Vuitton release sold at luxury pricing. We build ours at a high perfume oil concentration and sell direct, so you get the same character for a fraction of the price.

Who It’s For

It suits anyone who loves a dark, mysterious, oud rich scent and wants a luxury style fragrance without the luxury price.

Common Questions

How close is it to Louis Vuitton Matiere Noire?

It stays close to the dark, fruity oud character of the original. It is our own interpretation rather than a copy, but the impression is very familiar.

How can it cost so much less than Louis Vuitton Matiere Noire?

Most of the price of a luxury fragrance goes to the brand name, packaging and retail markup rather than the liquid itself. We put our budget into the scent and sell direct, so you get a comparable experience for a fraction of the price.

Is this the same perfume as Louis Vuitton Matiere Noire?

No. We do not use the same formula or ingredients. It is an independent interpretation made to evoke the same style at a much lower price.

How long does it last?

You can expect several hours on skin. Spraying onto clothing as well as skin helps it last even longer.

Who is it best for?

It is unisex and is made for evenings and cooler weather.

How should I apply it?

Spray on pulse points such as the wrists, neck and inner elbows. A light spritz on clothing makes it last through the day.
