The perfumer says: 

"The main drive behind "Chypre Noir" was my love of chypres, tuberose and leather; my favorite genres. These accords can be found throughout my fragrance line. I wanted to create a chypre with a darker tone (as the name suggests). For this I decided upon a dark, black leather to run top to bottom throughout the chypre foundation. Bitter green herbs and tuberose are the supporting notes. Musk ketone, oakmoss and costus are in the base to give it a vintage vibe."

    • Bergamot, galbanum, petitgrain, lemon, geranium, lavender, thyme, absinthe, tuberose, allspice, labdanum, benzoin, orris, patchouli, cedarwood, oakmoss, costus, benzoin

Nearly identical to Mr. Cross's flagship fragrance, Mousse Iluminee. Green, soapy, harsh opening with resinous leather, moss, and woods. If you like 1970s/80s powerhouse chypres like Paco, Drakkar, Gucci Nobile, you would like this. Not for me.
