The original edition of Lys Noir made its debut in 1924, the height of the glamorous anées folles, where its mysterious elegance and chic art deco design elements made it an instant hit among the fearless, trendsetting women that came to define the era. Now, 90 years later, the house of Isabey is again on the rise, and to celebrate the onset of their 10th decade, Lys Noir has been resurrected and updated for the modern market. We are delighted to confirm that this seductive, opulent woody floral fragrance is as perfect for the sophisticated femme fatale of today as it would have been all those years ago.
As the name suggests, Lys Noir is built around the captivating, narcotic flower of the lily, which is accompanied at the opening with an invigoratingly spicy burst of black pepper. As the rest of the heady, deeply floral bouquet emerges- animalic tuberose, spicy narcissus- Lys Noir envelops us completely, drawing us further and further under its spell not with raw volume but with the sophistication and seductive appeal of its composition. A darkly attractive base of smooth patchouli, powerful ebony and milky sandalwood maintains a perfect harmony between beauty and complexity- just like the dynamic women for whom this fragrance is perfectly suited. An exquisite and stylish black lacquered act-deco bottle and elegant coffret true to the original specifications complete the timeless aesthetic, ensuring that Lys Noir is a gem ideally suited to every collection.
