In Black

In Black is a complex, darkly sweet gourmand with a bold licorice core that gives it a uniquely enigmatic character. The opening is an intense, syrupy burst of cherry and licorice, often described as bold and slightly synthetic, which can be overwhelming for some. As it evolves, the fragrance mellows into a smoother, creamy profile with vanilla, patchouli, and subtle floral notes like violet and lilac, creating a sensual, intimate, and slightly smoky drydown. It is not a soft, sweet floral, but rather an adult, gothic-leaning perfume with an almost edible quality reminiscent of dark chocolate cherries or cherry liqueur. While some find the scent too heavy, synthetic, or not cohesive early on, many appreciate the transformation—where the initial sharpness gives way to a deeply layered, warm, and unusually wearable gourmand richness. The sillage is moderate to strong, with longevity typically exceeding four hours, especially when applied to clothing. It’s best suited for cooler weather and evening wear, where its mysterious, seductive aura stands out.
