Black Amber

This fragrance is centered around labdanum and incense, accentuated by a distinctive salty and seaweed-like element. It presents an intriguing twist on traditional amber-based scents, incorporating a marine quality that sets it apart.

While I haven't had the opportunity to experience genuine isolated ambergris, I speculate that the saline note may be attributed to it.

The scent follows a fairly linear trajectory, maintaining the presence of salty seaweed in its drydown, harmoniously blended with cedar, vanilla, and patchouli in equal measure.

The combination is seamlessly intertwined, resulting in a tightly fused composition. The concept behind this fragrance is undeniably interesting, and it does possess an appealing aroma.

However, I find myself uncertain if it aligns with my personal preferences. If the notion of a woody incense with intriguing hints of salty seaweed captures your interest, I recommend giving this fragrance a try.
