Pleasure Noir
Some perfumes become
the culture.
Le Labo's Santal 33 never smelled like perfume — it smelled like clean skin, cool air, expensive wood, soft leather, dry paper, and a luxury hotel lobby you never want to leave. Pleasure Noir No. 63 by The CLONE was composed for the people who recognize that aura, and prefer to wear it every day, without the niche price.
A smooth, smoky, modern-clean extrait.
The first spray gives you an airy violet opening with a fresh hit of cardamom — green, slightly aromatic, modern-clean. The heart polishes into orris, ambrox and papyrus — soft, powdery, dry as old book pages. Finally the base settles into cedarwood, clean leather and creamy sandalwood — the leather chairs of an empty luxury boutique.

Pleasure Noir No. 63 vs. Le Labo Santal 33.
Santal 33 is not difficult because of a long list of notes — it is difficult because every note must be balanced perfectly. Where they feel similar: sandalwood, papyrus and orris give that dry, creamy, paper-like woody texture; leather and cedarwood deliver the quiet luxury boutique dry-down. Where they differ: the original is louder in the first thirty minutes; Pleasure Noir opens softer and smoother — easier for office, travel, close-contact settings. The dry-down is where they feel closest.
