Description A beacon for land and sea. île noire is the first fragrance created by Manuel Mathieu - and his most personal - the one that ignited his love of perfumery. île noire takes us on a mysterious and transformative exploration of Haitian memories, history and spirituality.

Ambergris takes us to sea, evoking an infinite sense of possibility and fluidity. The subtlety of tobacco anchors us to the ground, linking us to the land's historical journey. île noire bewitches, fusing the multisensory memories that shaped Mathieu's encounters, the living heritage of this land, the infinity of the sea and the potential imprint on the olfactory experience of anyone who wears the fragrance. île noire guides us through a historical journey of 
Manuel Mathieu’s homeland, Haiti; leading us with unorthodox sophistication to a sense of growth and maturity.

The journey takes us to Mathieu's sister's childhood bedroom, where the aroma of jasmine wafts through a half-open window. This scent weaves together the land's legacy, the sea's infinity, Mathieu’s personal past, and each wearer's individual imprint.
