The Scoop

The dark room envisioned by Clémence René-Bazin, an alumnus of the fabled Magnum agency, is in a hotel in Cairo with a view of the Nile, the modern city on the opposite bank rising in stark contrast with the antiquity of the legendary river…

Dorothée Piot's olfactive rendition of this image also draws on a contemporary vibe to express age-old ingredients. In fact, vintage fragrance lovers might well be delighted with this full-bodied blend: with its boozy, plummy notes, violet, patchouli and leather, Chambre Noire drops more than a hint of an old-school chypre. As though you'd smelled the sillage of Femme in a temple where incense had been burning. After all, ancient Egyptians did consider that perfume was the sweat of the gods. All the more reason to treat yourself to this divine fragrance, as sensuous and mysterious as a hotel room in an exotic city – or as the innermost chamber of a temple dedicated to beauty.

Here's what other people are saying about Chambre Noire...

A deeper, sexier version of Autoportrait. The plum is luscious! The patchouli is fine quality and only whispers. The benzoin/leather is soft and supple. It has a bit of powder that reminds me of cashmere. It's what other brands tried to copy but failed. Unisex, and grown up. Sexy and confident. No sticky fake sugar. Think of this as a fine wine!

More than just being one of the best fragrances I’ve ever had the pleasure of smelling, this fragrance is simply ME. This fragrance is my life in a bottle. So very nostalgic b/c it’s so well blended - perfection! ??? When I smell this perfume it takes me straight to my childhood and covers me in a warmth. Not the type of warm like your by the fireplace drinking hot choc but the type of warm like your arriving to a show in late afternoon/early evening early wearing a warm leather jacket w/ leather accessories. Very calm and pleasant! I honestly could go on and on for hours about Chambre Noire but I’d likely start not making sense lol.

Warm, powdery. Not very unique. I have smelled this fragrance before and I am sure I will smell it again in other incarnations. Yet I do like it enough to purchase and wear.

Wow what a Master piece, luv it and on my wishlist should get the big bottle in a couple of months as i'm still obtaining other frags but this one is in my mind. This frag from the first stage is olfactory impacting with it's leather, plum, boozy,powder etc accords is mesmerizing.Two enthusiastic thumps up.

Love the name. The description is spot on, this is definitely a vintage style scent. It is nice but not for me, too sweet, powdery, and mature. I don't think the scent matches the name, on me it is not dark at all.
