The Noir 29 vs Bergamote 22

The Noir 29 is highly praised by the community as an emotionally resonant, sophisticated fragrance with a complex development and impressive dry down that receives consistent compliments. The primary complaint centers on its premium pricing and slower opening, though those who appreciate Le Labo's long-game approach consider it well worth the investment for its unique, enchanting character.

Bergamote 22 is a divisive fragrance that delivers a beautiful citrus-woody composition, but its name is misleading as vetiver becomes the dominant note in the dry down rather than bergamot. While some appreciate its clean freshness and longevity for a citrus scent, others find the premium price point unjustified given its performance and linear nature.
