Anatomy of Noir AbsoluHow it unfolds
TopFirst 30 minutes
Black pepper · ElemiThe opening strike: bright, peppery and resinous, gone from the air but not from memory.
HeartHours one to five
Birch tar · PapyrusSmoke settles into the skin. Leathery, dry and close, the part people lean in to find.
BaseUntil tomorrow
Oud · LabdanumWarm resin and wood that stays on a scarf for days. This is what 30% concentration buys.

ChronologyTwenty-eight years between the first accord and the sixth extrait.
The first notebook
1998The first notebookAt nineteen, our perfumer starts a notebook of accords in a boarding house above a Grasse distillery. Page one: birch tar.
Twelve years at the bench
2009Twelve years at the benchComposing quietly for other houses teaches one lesson above all: most perfume is diluted until it is polite.
A print shop and a rule
2019A print shop and a ruleOBSIDE opens in a converted print shop with a single rule: every composition is an extrait, or it is not made.
Noir Absolu
2021Noir AbsoluThe first extrait. Four hundred hand-filled bottles, sold in nine days to people who had never heard of us.
The resting room
2023The resting roomWe build our own maceration room. Every batch now rests six weeks in the dark before it is filtered.
Six extraits
2026Six extraitsThe collection is complete: six compositions, one discovery set, and a waiting list we are not in a hurry to clear.
