Good for the price

Clean, soapy and floral fragrance with a touch of grapes. A very simple composition with good performance on my skin.
My first impression was like I was smelling and old lady, but with time I start to appreciate The Black a lot more. Its lightness works perfectly on summer.
If you can buy it for $20 it is a bargain.

Fruity woody

Al Hajar Al Aswad is a exotic fragrance.

Opens with a huge grape note surrounded by some herbals and stays this way for a long time.

After some hours (3 or 4) i can smell a great wood note in the background that remains untill the fragrance fades away.

I cant identify which wood note is that, not too dark nor light, it's very unusual, maybe it's the palm tree.

Also there's a light oud in the composition that is present all the time.

Definately a exotic fragrance that's worth trying. Unisex.

Heavenly lightness ..

I'll be honest: this fragrance is pure elegance in liquid form!

As soon as the fragrance hits your skin, you get this feeling of purity and calm, as if you were stepping out of a clear spring. Black grape, bergamot and delicate aquatic nuances lend it an almost heavenly lightness that lies over the skin like a gentle veil of light.
Then this delicate, powdery veil of iris, lavender and vanilla unfolds, which lies on the skin like the finest silk dust. And when oud and sandalwood are added, everything becomes warm, creamy and incredibly sophisticated. It smells expensive, sophisticated and calm.

And the best thing? Despite its softness, it has presence. A very shy extrait de parfum that disguises itself as an eau de toilette.

For me, The Black is the oud fragrance for all seasons! Fresh in summer, soothing in winter, elegant all year round.

And honestly: is this really supposed to be just an eau de toilette?
