Modern Classic Noir for Women
Brocard (2015)

Reminds me of the clean smell in the Amsterdam Airport toilettes. A bit of fruit, some sweetness and clean musk

Fragrance in three words: Plastic Cherry Bakewell

Modern Classic Noir gives an initial blast of candied cherry similar to the cherry Tunes sweets (for anyone in the UK). Mixed in with this is a jammy sweet rose, like the cherry it is noticeably artificial in a good way. I didn't detect any almond or licorice.

Drydown is white musk, similar to most feminine fragrances. Sweetish and not the dead flower smell you get with some perfumes. Not quite as nice as something like Ghost (2000) which has both white musk and vanilla as a base, but is a bit more seductive. After this there is a heavy sweet vanilla.

Longevity was around 6 hours, with the top notes lasting 1 - 2 hours. So sort of OK, for a perfume.

This isn't an expensive perfume at £45 for 100ml (as of August 2020) and it smells accordingly. It is a very easy going fragrance and a great attempt at a gourmand while remaining top value.
