The review
Dark Matter scores 6.7 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Matière Noire.
Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Matière Noire's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
Strength: extrait, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.
At $114 per 100ml it costs 61% less than Matière Noire — the 4th cheapest of 4 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Perfume Parlour publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
Louis Vuitton Matière Noire is blackcurrant syrup and watery notes at first, rose, cyclamen and narcissus at its heart and agarwood (oud), benzoin and incense at the end. Perfume Parlour set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
Top
- blackcurrant syrup
- watery notes
Heart
- rose
- cyclamen
- narcissus
Base
- agarwood (oud)
- benzoin
- incense
Blackcurrant syrup poured over oud and narcissus, plush and shadowed, a night with the lamps turned low.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.

Of the 5 twins of Louis Vuitton Matière Noire we can price, Dark Matter is number 4 on price per 100ml.
