ALREHAB PERFUMES Champion Black is a fragrance. Champion Black settles into a heart of Ylang-Ylang and Tobacco, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Patchouli, and Oakmoss. ALREHAB PERFUMES's Champion Black carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

A divisive but often praised budget banger. Ignore the initial blast and let it smooth out into a surprisingly solid, woody-green scent, punching well above its weight for the price. Not a perfect clone of anything, but a damn good 'everyday GIT vibe' for pennies.

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.

Its versatile woody-green and clean profile makes it suitable for most casual and office settings, often described as 'inoffensive' and 'timeless'. While some note strong projection, it generally settles into a moderation that won't overwhelm, though it might be too 'business-like' for a playful date and not refined enough for truly formal events.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Champion Black opens with a vibrant, earthy greenness, quickly settling into a robust heart of cedar and oakmoss, reminiscent of a dense, damp woodland. The composition is grounded by a subtle, smoky tobacco and a clean, lingering musk, with just a hint of creamy ylang-ylang softening the edges. It’s an unmistakably masculine scent, evolving from sharp to smooth and sophisticated.
