First purchase from Maison Louis
"This was my first fragrance from Maison Louis Marie. I walked into a storefront that carried the whole house & L'etang Noir was the one I kept coming back to smell. I didn't buy it right away, in fact I waited a month-- but that whole month I was thinking about L'etang Noir. It's an intimately sweet scent, psychologically narcotic. I'm not sure how it can be both quiet yet intense, soft yet bold. It feels very pure & unabashed. It's just such an interesting scent to me! There's no experience or big memory that I can tie to it like most fragrances I've experienced but it brings me a lot of comfort."
