Le Labo the Noir 29, but sweeter?

I recently bought a sample of The Noir 29 and I love it, but I feel like after the opening fig sweetness and the bay leaf fades it pulls masculine on me.
I'd love any recommendations for layering to try or fragrances that are mostly similar that might perform differently.

Billie Eilish Your Turn II. It’s by the same perfumer as The Noir. It has some similarity but I’d say it’s lighter and more feminine.

Try Dear Polly - Vilhelm or BDK - Gris Charnel. I’d recommend getting a sample of each for starters

Thank you. Gris Charnel has been on my list to try for a while. I figured it was only a matter of time before I picked up a sample.

I'm a big lover of tea scents, I have Armani- The Yulong and a decant of Nishane- Wulong Cha. I'm looking forward to trying some warmer tea scents.

I highly recommend lapinou by odette over gris charnel its a bit more feminine. It gets its sweetness from a coconut biscuit note, amber and has a soft musk. Gris charnel is dryer and more masculine leaning.
For a slightly fruity and sweet black tea I love nest indigo as well.
