Drakkar Noir is a legendary men's fragrance launched in 1982 by the French fashion house Guy Laroche. Created by perfumer Pierre Wargnye, it became an iconic scent of the 1980s, known for its bold, aromatic, and fougère profile. The brand itself was founded by Guy Laroche in Paris in 1957, eventually expanding from high fashion into successful perfume lines.

While the brand carries the name of its French founder, the fragrance license has been part of the L'Oréal Group's professional products and luxury portfolio for decades. Manufacturing primarily takes place in France, maintaining its heritage of French perfumery. As of 2026, the ultimate owner remains L'Oréal, the world's largest cosmetics company, which manages the brand's global distribution and production through its luxury division.
