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

Strike Black opens with blackcurrant, bergamot and grapefruit, a sharp and juicy start. The heart is unusual: pineapple, cardamom, cinnamon and citron, so fruit and warm spice sit side by side. Pink pepper, patchouli and vetiver are listed in the base, which should give a dry, earthy, slightly peppery finish. This eau de parfum is an energetic fruity-spicy fragrance with a woody, earthy foundation.
