About

Black Decimo opens sharply with bright bergamot and juicy blackcurrant, quickly transitioning into a rich, masculine heart where smoky birch and earthy patchouli dominate. A subtle rose tries to peek through but is largely overshadowed by the woody, leathery accords. The drydown settles into a warm, musky base with hints of vanilla and ambergris, adding depth and longevity to its assertive character.
