Black Matter
Fragrance notes
Black Matter opens with black currant that carries a cool, watery edge. The fruit feels clean rather than sweet, and it moves quickly into the heart. Narcissus leads the floral blend with a slightly bitter, green petal tone. Rose and jasmine sambac add softness, while cyclamen keeps the middle airy and light. The transition from fruit to flower is smooth, and the scent stays fresh through this stage without becoming sharp or powdery.
The base defines the fragrance. Oud arrives with a deep, resinous weight that feels polished rather than rough. Patchouli adds an earthy, dark foundation that pairs closely with the oud. Incense brings a steady smoky thread that ties the wood and the resin together. Amber and balsamic accords round out the drydown with a warm, slightly sticky sweetness that never overwhelms the smoky wood. The yellow floral heart lingers beneath the heavier base, creating a contrast between bright petals and dark resin. Aquatic freshness from the opening fades, leaving oud, patchouli, and incense to carry the scent forward.
