Black Prince
Fragrance notes
Character
The courtyard is quiet after the sun dips behind the old stone walls. A cold breeze moves through the hedges and carries the sharp peel of grapefruit and lime across the damp air. Black currant leaf adds a green bite that feels crisp against the fading light. The opening is bright and edged with tart energy that cuts through the evening chill.
White flowers begin to rise as the air settles. Jasmine and lily bring a smooth creaminess that softens the citrus, while ylang-ylang adds a faint tropical weight. The flowers do not shout. They drift through the space like a thin veil, elegant and slightly formal, giving the scene a polished feel that sits comfortably in the shadows.
Amber starts to warm the stone beneath your feet. Cedar lends a dry, polished woodiness that grounds the floral heart, and oakmoss pulls the scent toward something earthy and slightly damp. The animalic accord is present but restrained, adding a whisper of skin and soil that keeps the composition from feeling too clean or overly refined.
The blend is rich and atmospheric, perfect for a dark courtyard in cool weather. It carries a classic structure that feels deliberate and composed. The one drawback is the jasmine, which leans sharp and slightly synthetic against the natural greens and woods.
