The Story
Drakkar Noir is a classic aromatic fougère that defined the 80s power-dressing era. This shower gel offers the same iconic scent in a convenient body wash form. You get the sharp lavender, lemon, and mint top notes, followed by a spicy-herbal heart and a warm leather-woody base. It's a great way to layer the fragrance or enjoy it on its own.
