No. 4 Black Cloak
Fragrance notes
No. 4 Black Cloak presents a mix of tonka bean, bergamot, leather, tobacco, and anise. The citrus from bergamot provides a bright lift that cuts through the heavier elements. Anise adds a distinct licorice edge that keeps the blend from feeling too rounded. These notes sit alongside the other materials without a clear order, creating an initial impression that is both sweet and aromatic. The fresh spicy accord complements the citrus, giving the early stage a sharp, clean facet.
The leather and tobacco notes form the core of the composition. They deliver a rugged, textured feel that defines the character of the scent. Tonka bean weaves through these elements, adding a deep vanilla sweetness that softens the rougher edges of the hide and leaf. The soft spicy accord rounds out the middle, ensuring the transition between the bright start and the heavier base feels smooth.
As the scent develops further, the tonka bean and tobacco dominate the profile. The vanilla accord becomes more prominent, creating a rich, sweet warmth that lingers on the skin. The animalic facet emerges here, adding a raw, slightly untamed quality to the sweetness. Leather remains present, grounding the gourmand aspects with its sturdy, masculine texture. The anise and bergamot recede into the background, leaving the heavier materials to carry the final impression.
The aromatic and fresh spicy touches fade, allowing the sweet, tobacco-heavy base to take full control. This fragrance fits a man who prefers a bold, sweet leather scent with a dark twist. It works best for evening wear during the cooler seasons when the rich notes can be fully appreciated without overwhelming the air.
