Angélique Noire by Guerlain is a Oriental Floral fragrance for women and men. Angélique Noire was launched in 2005. The nose behind this fragrance is Daniela Andrier. Top notes are Angelica, Pear and Pink Pepper; middle notes are Jasmine and Caraway; base notes are Angelica, Vanilla and Cedar. For the event of opening of renovated main boutique La Maison Guerlain (The House of Guerlain) at 68 Avenue des Champs-Elysées, Paris, Guerlain launched exclusive line of three perfumes – L \'Art et la Matière (The Art and (raw) Material, a pun after the French expression L\'Art et la Manière – the art and manners). Three famous noses were invited to work on the perfumes using the highest quality materials. The perfumes were launched in 2005. Angélique Noire is the third fragrance of the series, created by Daniela Andrièr. It was an attempt to reproduce the famous compositions of the house. Sweet and strong beginning with spices and piquant freshness of bergamot is mixing with milky bitterness of almond and vanilla notes. Unusual harmony of the fresh bergamot and sweet vanilla is a trademark of classical compositions of Guerlain. Spicy harshness of the beginning is contrasting creamy and sweet base which includes mildly spicy and sugary notes of angelica.

The community shows deeply divided opinions on Arquiste fragrances overall, with Indigo Smoke being particularly polarizing. While some appreciate the creative tea note and unique character, many find the scents off-putting or poorly constructed, with performance issues in cooler temperatures. Fragrance preference appears highly subjective within this house.
