Fade To Black

Fade to Black by Alexandria Fragrances closely resembles By Kilian Back to Black, offering a rich, gourmand interpretation dominated by honey, cherry, vanilla, tobacco, and a powdery almond base. The scent evolves with depth and complexity over time, revealing a warm, sweet, and slightly incense-like character that feels both comforting and intoxicating. It is particularly well-suited for colder months and evening wear, with strong longevity and moderate to strong sillage that lingers for hours. While the initial impression may be overly sweet or powdery—some liken it to baby powder or medicine—the matured version balances its gourmand heart with a subtle spicy and woody undercurrent, making it accessible and wearable despite its intense nature. Many users consider it one of the most accurate and affordable alternatives to the original Back to Black. It appeals most to fans of sweet, spiced, and gourmand fragrances, especially those seeking a bold, long-lasting profile without the premium price tag.
