Fallen Leaves: Gris Charnel, Ruy Lopez, The noir 29

When I first encountered these three fragrances, I didn’t realize how quickly they would captivate me. Each scent has its own distinct personality, yet all share an exquisite balance that makes them perfect for a wide variety of occasions. Let me take you through my personal experience with each scent, as they’ve become staples in my collection.


Gris Charnel BDK Parfums: A Warm Embrace of Spices and Softness

Gris Charnel is truly a fragrance that has bewitched me since the moment I first tried it. As an oriental spicy scent, it opens with a captivating mix of cardamom, fig, and black tea. On my skin, the sandalwood and iris provide a creamy, powdery backdrop that is warm, comforting, and just a little bit spicy. I find it perfect for almost any weather, except the heat. Lasting a solid 7.5 hours, this scent stays with me all day, creating a luxurious, fragrant bubble. I can’t stop inhaling it—this is a scent that feels effortlessly elegant yet comfortable enough for daily wear.


Ruy Lopez Mind Games: A Regal Journey Through Leather and Luxury

Ruy Lopez feels like a journey into royalty with its complex, leathery elegance. The initial burst of cherry, black pepper, and black tea gives it an immediate allure, but the heart of davana, rum, and rose is where it truly shines. The richness of the leather, oak, and patchouli base makes me imagine sitting in a grand tea room in a famous palace, sipping something dark and mysterious. On my skin, it lasted around 8 hours, holding onto its refined depth and complexity. I find this fragrance ideal for cool weather, though it can also work beautifully in spring or a cool summer day.

 


The Noir 29 Le Labo: The Earthy Essence of Quiet Opulence

The Noir 29 has a unique charm that blends warmth and earthiness into an incredibly luxurious experience. The top notes of fig, bay leaf, and bergamot give it a crisp start, but as it develops, the tobacco and hay notes make it feel like autumn leaves resting on rich, damp soil. This scent lasted about 7 hours on me, leaving behind a soft, intimate musk and cedar aura as it faded. It smells like wealth and understated sophistication, perfect for any time of the year, though I find it truly shines in cooler weather. It’s the kind of fragrance that wraps you in a feeling of quiet opulence.

Now you know why these three flavors have become my favorites.  I can't imagine my collection without them. I hope I helped you with the choice and you are interested in one of these perfumes

The Noir Le Labo Review

Authoritative Natalie’s insight

Gris Charnel is a masterclass in balance. The fig and tea notes stand out, yet they seamlessly blend with sandalwood and iris to create a soothing, harmonious fragrance. The real artistry is in its dry-down, where the sillage feels calming and warm. Its longevity on the skin and the soft, continuous projection make it a high-quality fragrance, perfect for personal comfort .

Ruy Lopez offers an intriguing evolution from unisex to masculine. This scent exemplifies complexity, with its leather and tea dominating as the fragrance matures. It shifts elegantly, becoming more robust over time, making it ideal for evening wear. The blend of rum and patchouli adds a royal depth, showing meticulous craftsmanship.

The Noir 29 delivers in its multifaceted beauty, combining tea with just the right amount of spice. It’s not too warm, striking an expert balance between freshness and depth. The long-lasting, well-proportioned projection creates an enveloping aura. With its addictive herbal notes and skin-care-like undertones, it shows remarkable artistry, where each note is finely tuned to perfection.

These three perfumes are not only well-crafted but also showcase the sophisticated blending of high-quality ingredients, creating an immersive and luxurious sensory experience. I really recommend these!


FAQ

What is the best season to wear Gris Charnel?

Gris Charnel shines during the cooler months of fall and winter, thanks to its warm, spicy, and creamy notes of cardamom, fig, and sandalwood. However, its balance of freshness also makes it versatile for cooler spring nights.


Is Ruy Lopez suitable for daily wear?

Ruy Lopez leans toward being a bold, statement-making fragrance, best suited for special occasions or evening wear. Its luxurious, spicy, and leathery profile may feel too intense for casual or everyday use.


Is The Noir 29 long-lasting?

On my skin, The Noir 29 lasts about 6 to 7 hours, with moderate projection for the first 3 to 4 hours. The scent becomes softer as it dries down, lingering close to the skin but maintaining its smoky, woody character.


How does The Noir 29 compare to Santal 33?

While both The Noir 29 and Santal 33 are unisex and share a woody profile, The Noir 29 is more tea-centric, with smoky, fresh elements. Santal 33, on the other hand, is woodier, more sandalwood-forward, and often perceived as more robust and rugged.
