Alexandre.J Oscent Black is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012. Oscent Black opens with Anise and Ginger, settles into a heart of White Woods, Cedar, Patchouli, and Tobacco, and dries down to a base of Musk, Vanilla, and Labdanum. Alexandre.J's Oscent Black carries a Favourite verdict, a musk-led wear.

This one's a bit of a Jekyll and Hyde. Some rave about its dark, smoky depths and beast-mode performance, while others are left wanting more, finding it fleeting and underwhelming. A truly divisive scent, so sample before you commit.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Oscent Black opens with an intriguing kick of ginger and a distinct anise, immediately setting a dark, mysterious tone. As it settles, a rich, resinous frankincense emerges, weaving through a heart of dry cedar, earthy patchouli, and a subtle, smoky tobacco. The journey ends on a warm, musky base, softened by a hint of vanilla and the deep, balsamic sweetness of labdanum, creating a comforting yet sophisticated finish.
