Cigar Black Wood

Cigar Black Wood presents a bold, gourmand-spicy woody profile with a striking opening dominated by saffron, nutmeg, and an intense coconut accord that lingers prominently. The fragrance evolves into a rich, slightly sweet, and resinous woody base featuring patchouli, guaiac wood, and myrrh, creating a dark, enveloping aroma that leans into a more playful, candy-like sweetness rather than a true tobacco or cigar smoke experience. It performs strongly in terms of longevity and moderate to strong sillage, particularly suited for evening wear and colder seasons, though some users note it can feel overwhelming or synthetic in warm conditions. The scent is relatively linear, with a transformation that some find underwhelming or abrupt, while others appreciate its complexity and value for money. It bears similarities to bygone market fragrances and has been compared to Zara Wood Noir and Bvlgari Man in Black, though it lacks the authentic depth of those perfumes. Overall, it is praised for its affordability, performance, and unique blend of sweet, spicy, and smoky accords, even if not everyone finds it appealing or refined.
