Our verdict on Black Beetle: Acquired

This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect a rich, dark patchouli with smoky frankincense and a surprising sprinkle of fruit. It's unique, but definitely divides opinion - so sample before you splurge.

About

Opens with an intense burst of dark raspberry tempered by bright bergamot and a pronounced, smoky frankincense. As it settles, the heart reveals a raw, earthy patchouli warmed by the fiery kick of pimiento. The dry down is a sophisticated blend of woody notes and a deep, sensual musk, clinging to the skin for hours with an almost resinous warmth.
