Manuel Mathieu Parfums ÎLE NOIRE eau de parfum

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

The journey takes us to Mathieu's sister's childhood bedroom, where the aroma of jasmine wafts through a half-open window. 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 is a comforting and magnetic fragrance that was created by renowned perfumer Juliette Karagueuzoglou in collaboration with multi-disciplinary Haitian-born artist Manuel Mathieu.

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.

This scent weaves together the land's legacy, the sea's infinity, Mathieu’s personal past, and each wearer's individual imprint.
