Lavender Noir
Ariana & Evans
Founded in 2017 in Ansonia, Connecticut, Ariana & Evans is the passion project of fragrance auteur Peter Charkalis, its name blending his own and his daughters’ middle names. Guided by the Japanese principle of kaizen—continuous improvement—Charkalis brings an eclectic, globe-spanning sensibility to scents that are bold, sophisticated, and delightfully unconventional. Standouts such as Baklava, Plum & Bliss, Chasing the Dragon, and Khalifa showcase inspirations drawn from world cuisine and culture. In 2024 he introduced Maullu, a premium line co-created with acclaimed Italian barber Daniele Maullu, further elevating the brand’s commitment to top-tier ingredients and artistry.
Scent Description
Lavender Noir is an intense and tantalizing olfactory carousel that marries the heady enchantment of lavender, jasmine, and geranium with the enveloping warmth of amber and vanilla, anchored by the earthy depth of oud and coffee. The composition is passionate and multifaceted—comforting and familiar, gently sweet, yet touched by a sophisticated shadow, reminiscent of a ripe black plum. Though assertive, it remains welcoming and effortlessly captivating, suitable for any setting from the office to an evening out, and is particularly well suited to the cool air of autumn. In a market replete with lavender interpretations, Lavender Noir distinguishes itself with true originality—an unmistakable standout and a gem within a crowded genre.
