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.

The house
More from Maison Noir
Maison Noir is a Swiss niche house set up in 2021 by perfumer Claudio Denz and David Weber, a former investment banker, after the two met again in Zurich. Most of its perfumes are unisex, and many carry a number in the name, so the range reads a little like a map. The common thread is warmth: amber, tonka bean and labdanum at the base, with woods and musk for depth. Fruit keeps it from getting heavy, from green apple and melon to raspberry. Icarus 347 is the bright one, fresh and green with a crisp apple bite. Somnia turns sweet and balsamic, praline and vanilla over amber. Volantis 685 is the odd one out: saffron heat with a cool, metallic edge. All three arrived in 2023, so a small bottle of each shows you the whole house in a week.
