> Grove Noir is an independent fragrance house from Champlin, Minnesota, making woody extrait de parfum for men. Meet the house behind Cèdre Nocturne.

Grove Noir is an independent fragrance house based in Champlin, Minnesota. We make woody extrait de parfum for men who prefer a scent that stays close: quiet, architectural and built to last from dusk into the night.

## What we make

Our first fragrance, [Cèdre Nocturne](https://grovenoir.com/cedre-nocturne-extrait-de-parfum/), is a cedar and sandalwood extrait de parfum: dry Atlas cedar against creamy sandalwood, over vetiver, amber and a smooth oud accord. Everything we make is composed at extrait concentration, the highest perfume-oil strength, so it wears closer to the skin and lasts longer than an eau de parfum.

## What we believe

- **Close, not loud.** A fragrance should be discovered at arm's length, not announced across a room.
- **Honest descriptions.** We tell you who a scent is for, and who it isn't for, so you can buy with confidence.
- **Try before you open.** Every bottle ships with a complimentary sample, and unopened bottles can be returned within 30 days.
- **Made carefully.** IFRA-compliant formulas, slow maceration and materials chosen for quality. Read about [our craft](https://grovenoir.com/the-craft/).

## The name

A grove is a small stand of trees; _noir_ is French for black. Grove Noir is the forest after dark, when cedar turns dry and sharp in the cold air and the woods smell their strongest.
