Ali AljaberiJean-Claude Astier

"Black I EDP is a unisex oriental-woody fragrance from Widian’s Black Collection, first released in 2014. Its structure centers on a warm spicy opening of cinnamon and cardamom before moving into an incense-laced heart with cypress and creamy sandalwood. The scent profile is repeatedly described by retailers and reviewers as calm, elegant, and quietly luxurious rather than aggressively projecting. Its drydown settles into musk and cedarwood, giving it a smooth woody finish with a composed Arabian character. The fragrance is closely associated with Widian’s brand identity, and search evidence presents it as one of the earliest and foundational releases in the Black line. It was created through collaboration between founder Ali Aljaberi and perfumer Jean-Claude Astier."

Reviews Summary

“Search evidence consistently describes Black I as a smooth spicy-woody oriental with a soft incense core and creamy sandalwood. Review excerpts characterize it as cozy, balanced, mature, and shape-shifting through wear, with cinnamon, sandalwood, and musk standing out. Performance feedback is mixed: some users report good longevity, while others feel projection is softer than expected for the price segment. Overall sentiment suggests an elegant, understated luxury scent rather than a loud statement fragrance.”
