Black Widow Daniel Josier 2022

... especially when she comes across as so seductive and passionate, as if she had never been married. Black does not suit her, so she goes straight to red, complemented by a golden necklace.
The widow treats herself to a bowl of fresh currants, expressing her deep sensual passion for new experiences. On her spacious terrace, there are several pots of bergamot, from which a fresh, zesty, and slightly floral breeze wafts in and mingles with the berries... the widow feels lighter at heart.
She looks out and sees the magnificent orchids, which were potted in fresh, truffle-scented soil during her husband's lifetime. Her thoughts drift away...
A gust of wind blows in, and the scent of artemisia swirls through the room, the widow regains her composure, a sense of security envelops her.
She takes a piece of vanilla chocolate that her husband had brought back from a trip. With radiant elegance and a great deal of theatricality, she sinks into her blue bergère and sighs...

I love the scents of the Spanish perfumer Daniel Josier and was very curious about his new line Signature.

Even the packaging and design of the bottle are beautiful with a balanced combination of dark red and gold.
The fragrance itself is not loud, but elegant and noble....a proud Catalan. It is more suited for a mature audience than for very young people. Perfect for a dinner in a restaurant or opera.

The scent is complex, well-composed, and difficult to categorize into notes. The sweetness is very subtle. Initially, I perceive a duet of blackcurrants and truffle, then a hint of vermouth that merges with the skin.
In the base, noble woods, dry vanilla, and vetiver come to the fore.
The base does not make the fragrance masculine at all, rather noble. Sillage is good. One can discuss the longevity: the fragrance will certainly unfold differently on a cool day or in autumn/winter than in summer. I still need to test that.

Conclusion: The fragrance takes a place in my collection between Serge Lutens, Mona Di Orio, and LM Parfums.
