Black Tulip

Black Tulip by Shay & Blue London presents a gourmand bouquet centered around plum and white chocolate, with subtle woody notes that add depth and texture. The initial impression is a sweet, creamy white chocolate surge, quickly followed by a dense plum jam core that dominates the early wear. Some find it medicinally sharp or cloying, reminiscent of children’s medicine or sweet tea, while others describe it as comforting, cozy, and deeply aromatic. The floral notes mentioned in the description—cyclamen, tulip—remain faint or undetectable on most skin types, with the fragrance leaning more toward a dark, spiced plum-sweetness than floral elegance. Over time, the scent evolves into a textured, warm sillage with a faint woody and vanilla-like sweetness, lasting for moderate to long durations, even if some users report fading early. It performs well on cooler seasons and suits evening wear or chilled autumn days, offering a sensual but restrained projection that doesn’t overpower. A few note that it’s particularly effective for those who enjoy gourmands with rich fruit and creamy undertones.
