Onyx Black is an exciting new addition to my collection, as I only own Aqua de Dora so far and have already tested Moonlight and "Forever Love | Pana Dora," both of which I liked very much. The expectations for Onyx Black were therefore high.
Upon spraying, lemon and bergamot unfold a bright note, followed by a light sweetness. Strong oriental spices, especially cinnamon and nutmeg, quickly come to the forefront.
Over time, resinous and woody notes emerge, with cedar and fir resin adding depth. Amber, labdanum, and cypriol provide a dark, smoky, and earthy facet that characterizes the fragrance for hours.
Onyx Black feels warm, spicy, and oriental without being overwhelming. The sillage is pronounced, the longevity good, making it ideal for cooler months. It is elegant, mysterious, and suitable for special occasions, not as an all-rounder.
Despite my slight aversion to sweet fragrances, Onyx Black is an extremely successful addition to my collection.
