Somnia by Maison Noir opens bright with bergamot before it sinks into something warmer and stranger. Labdanum brings a golden, resinous glow, plumeria adds a creamy floral note, and jasmine keeps the middle from turning too sweet. The base is where it lingers: black amber, cashmere wood and vanilla, soft and faintly animalic, like skin warmed by candlelight. Launched in 2023, it suits anyone drawn to ambery, musky scents worn close rather than loud. Voters wear it in autumn and winter, mostly at night and in the evening, and it holds up well at work too. Most wearers vote it moderate on both longevity and sillage, so it stays present without taking over a room. A 3ml decant is enough to live with it through a few dark evenings before deciding on more.

The community verdict
An amber-vanilla blend, Somnia starts with bergamot before labdanum and jasmine settle into black amber, cashmere wood and vanilla. Most report moderate longevity and projection, though some find it longer-lasting or stronger in projection. It suits autumn nights, and winter evenings work too.
