Jean Lowe Noir (formerly known as Jean Lowe Ombre) is a unisex aromatic oriental fragrance, often compared to Louis Vuitton’s Ombre Nomade, due to its dark, smoky, and woody character.
Top Notes: Incense, Amberwood, Amber, Cedar, Sandalwood, Patchouli, Labdanum
Middle Notes: Melon, Nutmeg, Ginger, Jasmine
Base Notes: Pink Pepper, Pomelo, Lemon, Bergamot, Cilantro, Mint.
Opinions are polarized. Some describe the opening as harsh or synthetic—pesticide-like, rubbery, or overly smoky. However, many note that maceration (letting the fragrance sit for a while) smooths the rough edges, revealing a balanced oud, leather, rose, and incense accord.
One user called it “warm, woody, and slightly sweet… perfect for fall and winter… very mature and masculine.”
Another praised its projection (8.5/10) and lasting power (9/10), dubbing it “one of the best cheapies for winters.”
Some have mentioned modest longevity without maceration, suggesting it can fade quickly.
This fragrance is widely recognized as a budget-friendly dupe of LV Ombre Nomade—many reviewers cite it as incredibly close in scent, though some note that the emotional depth of the original is unmatched.
