Black
Fragrance notes
Character
Black opens with saffron and cumin that feel warm and slightly pungent. The spices are present without becoming sharp, and they give the early stage a dry, earthy character. Egyptian jasmine and Bulgarian rose follow with a white floral heart that is soft rather than bright. The rose adds a powdery quality that sits close to the skin, while the jasmine keeps the floral side from feeling heavy. Together the heart notes create a calm middle that bridges the spices and the base.
The base brings ebony tree, cashmere musk, and tolu balsam. Ebony tree adds a woody tone that feels smooth and dark. Cashmere musk lends a musky softness that rounds out the sharper edges from the opening. Tolu balsam contributes a sweet, amber-like resin that deepens the drydown. The combination settles into a warm spicy and powdery finish that stays close to the skin.
The overall accord list includes warm spicy, powdery, woody, white floral, rose, musky, amber, fresh spicy, metallic, and sweet. The metallic facet sits quietly beneath the resin and the florals. A cool breeze over damp ground and fading daylight suits this scent well. The saffron and cumin lead, the jasmine and rose carry the middle, and the ebony tree, cashmere musk, and tolu balsam close it.
