Fragrance World Black Ink is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022. Black Ink opens with Cypress, settles into a heart of Vetiver, and dries down to a base of Musk. Fragrance World's Black Ink carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

Seriously, just buy Encre Noire. This clone is a bit pointless when the original is so affordable and does the job so well. You'll spend more time explaining this is a dupe than actually enjoying it.

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 intensely woody and earthy profile makes it a bit too bold for a typical office setting. This fragrance sits better in cooler, more composed environments, lending itself to evening wear or formal occasions where its distinctive character can make an impression without overwhelming.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

Black Ink dives deep into a dark, earthy forest, starting with the immediate, resinous punch of cypress. This quickly transitions into the inky, rooty bitterness of vetiver, adding a powerful, almost wet-soil quality that dominates the middle. The journey concludes with a subtle, albeit persistent, musky base, which aims to soften the intensity but largely remains a shadow to the potent woody core. It's stark, linear, and unapologetically masculine.
