Zilli Cachemire Noir Eau de Parfum 100ml is a sumptuous, sensual masculine niche fragrance from the prestigious French luxury menswear house Zilli. Composed by perfumer Delphine Lebeau in 2020, this richly oriental composition pairs warming Ceylon cinnamon and floral ylang-ylang with a sophisticated heart of labdanum, vanilla absolute and orris — settling into a luxuriously deep base of myrrh, benzoin and sandalwood.

The character of the scent
Cachemire Noir opens with a warming, slightly exotic accord — spicy Ceylon cinnamon paired with the heady-floral richness of ylang-ylang. The heart unfolds into a sumptuous resin-vanilla bouquet — labdanum, vanilla absolute and refined orris root. The drydown is where Cachemire Noir reveals its true luxury — myrrh, benzoin and sandalwood wrapped together for a deep, contemplative, almost sacred second-skin warmth that lingers for hours.
Key benefits
- Sumptuous, niche-luxury masculine signature — distinctive and contemplative.
- Composed by Delphine Lebeau — a respected modern perfumer.
- Eau de Parfum concentration — strong longevity from the resin-vanilla base.
- Generous 100ml flacon.
- Prestige Zilli heritage from one of France's most respected luxury menswear houses.
Who it's for
Zilli Cachemire Noir is for those who love sumptuous, contemplative oriental masculine fragrances — fans of Amouage Interlude Man, Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille, or Maison Francis Kurkdjian Oud Satin Mood will recognise the family. The cinnamon-vanilla-myrrh signature makes it especially well-suited to evening wear, cooler weather, and as a special-occasion signature. A natural pick for connoisseurs of niche-luxury fragrance.
How to wear it
- Apply to clean, moisturised skin — moisturiser dramatically extends the resin-vanilla drydown.
- Spray onto pulse points: wrists, neck, behind the ears.
- For a softer halo, mist once into the air and walk through it.
- Avoid rubbing the wrists together — it bruises the cinnamon-ylang opening.
- Best worn for evenings out, date nights, special occasions and cooler weather where the resinous-vanilla base blooms most fully.
