Japanese for "black"
Meanwhile, my eyebrow only raises with about every tenth or fifteenth fragrance, and I let out a "This one smells interesting!" and the scent surpasses the critical 60% hurdle.
With "Kuroi," it was once again the case.
Contrary to its name, "Kuroi" is not black at all (aside from the bottle). It starts with a rather floral top note for my nose. Normally, I tend to flee from overly floral men's fragrances. Not here. I can't detect any of the listed citrus fruits, just a hint of pepper. And there is another note, which I cannot identify, that beautifully complements and simultaneously softens the delicate floral aspect. As this scent note becomes increasingly stronger and comes to the forefront, it must be the mate. I have no idea how mate smells in a perfume, but I suspect that’s what it is. Finally, it transitions into a woody-encased amber base. This lasts surprisingly and delightfully long; I wouldn't have expected such longevity.
Conclusion: A wonderfully different, unobtrusive, and pleasing fragrance for almost any occasion.
