Aromara Onyx Code is an Extrait de Parfum. Onyx Code opens with Bitter Orange, Pepper, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Neroli and Saffron, and dries down to a base of Leatherwood, Oud, Patchouli, and Frankincense. Aromara's Onyx Code carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Onyx Code is Aromara's take on Versace Pour Homme Oud Noir, the dark spicy-oud men's signature. At 35% Extrait the black pepper-saffron-agarwood spine is close, though the dupe renders bolder and less restrained than the original's quieter, office-to-evening swagger.

Scent Profile

Composition

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

Onyx Code opens with black pepper, bitter orange and cardamom, a sharp spicy-citrus start that leads into neroli and saffron through the heart. Agarwood, patchouli, leatherwood and olibanum settle a dark, smoky base. Versace's original keeps its oud and pepper fairly restrained, holding a quiet composure that works equally well in a boardroom or after dark; this version turns the volume up on the spice and agarwood earlier, giving it a louder, more assertive character that trades some of that quiet polish for immediate impact. The pepper-saffron-oud-leather signature is still unmistakably the same idea. It has strong persistence and moderate-to-strong projection, comfortable moving from a smart office day into an evening out through cooler months.
