5 Chic Fragrance Combos That Will Have Everyone Asking “What Scent Is That?”

Le Labo describes its scent The Noir 21 as a fragrance that “combines depth and freshness, softness and strength through permanent oscillation between the light of bergamot, fig, and bay leaves and the depth of cedarwood, vetiver, and musk.” As a Le Labo lover myself, I have to admit this one is definitely in my top three favorite fragrances it offers (and there are a lot of good ones).

With this one you can really smell the cedarwood, which makes it perfect to pair with Byredo’s Bal D’Afrique. This Byredo fragrance has notes of African marigold, bergamont, violet, and cedar wood, so it’s one of those that stands out among the rest. Byredo‘s website describes this scent as Ben Gorham’s “love letter” to Africa and is focused on beauty and fantasy. Every time I put it on, I instantly feel more elevated and sophisticated. Bal D’Afrique also has a Moroccan cedarwood base, so these two pair together delicously. If you want to smell elevated, woodsy but not too sweet, this combination is for you.
