Our take

Guaiac Wood and Cypress give Les 4 Saisons: Black Sea a dry, dark entry, quickly warmed by Saffron, Cloves, and Cinnamon. The effect is woody and warm spicy, with a faintly floral lift from Lily-of-the-Valley that gives the center texture. Incense brings a smoky thread to the blend, while Virginia Cedar and Sandalwood build a smooth, resinous frame around Amber and Vanilla. The whole progression feels like a cedar-lined study with a brass bowl of spiced tea on the desk, an image of polished warmth. It has weight, yet the finish carries a clear, composed shape instead of turning into a dense blur.

The spices give Black Sea a confident unisex character, suited to someone who likes warmth with structure and incense. Its staying power is long, letting the composition settle into cedar, sandalwood, amber, and vanilla without losing its spice. Projection is close-range, creating a personal aura that feels considered at a desk or in spaces shared with others. The texture is polished and sweet with Cinnamon and Vanilla rounding the woods while Saffron adds a dry glow. M. Micallef positions it for daytime wear in spring, fall, or winter. It will appeal to wearers who enjoy a dressed-up woody scent with smoky depth; fans of airy citrus or crisp aquatic styles may find its warmth too enveloping.
