Black (Parfum)

"Black is a dark, polished woody-oriental fragrance created for both women and men. It opens with a restrained but complex mixture of cardamom, ginger, saffron, peppery spice, and smoky incense impressions. The heart develops a textured blend of floral nuances, incense, patchouli, and dark balsamic materials. Its drydown is warm and luxurious, combining woods, amber, resins, musk, leather, and oud-like facets. Black is intentionally difficult to reduce to a conventional note pyramid because Puredistance keeps its formula and official ingredients undisclosed. The overall effect is intimate, sophisticated, and quietly dramatic rather than loud or overtly projecting."
