Angélique Noire, from Guerlain was released in 2005. The perfumer behind this creation is Daniela (Roche) Andrier. It has the top notes of Angelica, Pear, and Pink Pepper, middle notes of Caraway and Jasmine, and base notes of Angelica, Cedarwood, and Vanilla.
This is a beautiful scent, but the name baffles me. It's more of a sweet pear and vanilla affair (non gourmand) than angélica, which plays second or third fiddle to my nose. As for Noir, nope, there's nothing dark or black here at all.
Totally unique vanilla that never ventures into gourmand sweetness
