Alfa Romeo Perfumes 2021 Edt

Black

by Cristiano Canali

Alfa Romeo Perfumes Black is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2021, created by Cristiano Canali. Black opens with Grapefruit and Elemi, settles into a heart of Rose and Nutmeg, and dries down to a base of Woody and Suede. Alfa Romeo Perfumes's Black carries a Favourite verdict, a aromatic-led wear.

This one's a divisive cheapie: some call it a uniquely masculine, dark rose, others find it nauseatingly synthetic. It’s got a bit of 'new car smell' to it, but don't expect a masterpiece. It's a decent bet if you're after something a bit different for not a lot of cash, but sample first.

About

Alfa Romeo Black opens with a lively, fresh grapefruit note, quickly joined by the resinous, slightly smoky elemi. The heart introduces a dark, spiced rose, warmed by nutmeg, creating a mysterious depth. The dry down is a sophisticated blend of woody notes and a distinct alcantara accord, offering a soft, synthetic suede impression that many interpret as a new car leather scent, grounded by a balsamic sweetness.
