Black Tie

by Alberto Morillas

Fragrance One Black Tie is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Alberto Morillas. Black Tie opens with Lemon, Orange, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Guaiac Wood, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Patchouli, and Cardamom. Fragrance One's Black Tie carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Black Tie is a divisive beast: a powerful, almost aggressive woody citrus that screams 'take charge'. Forget subtlety - this one demands attention, for better or worse, with many finding its intense leathery woodiness both bold and off-putting. Price aside, it's a statement.

Given its nuclear performance and strong, distinctive woody accords, Black Tie is best kept for evenings or formal events where it can make a statement without overwhelming. Its intensity makes it a poor choice for casual wear or the office, where subtlety is often preferred.

About

Opening with a sharp, zesty burst of lemon, orange, and mandarin, Black Tie quickly shifts gears from bright citrus to something far darker and more complex. The potent guaiac wood emerges, giving a rugged, almost leathery or smoky edge, before settling into an earthy vetiver and patchouli foundation. A hint of warm, spicy cardamom weaves through, adding a final touch of intrigue to its deeply woody core.
