Ibrahim Al-Qurashi Black Diamond Incense is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023. Black Diamond Incense opens with Sea Water, Birch, and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Sandalwood, Vanilla, and Incense, and dries down to a base of Smoke, Leather, Amber, and Oud. Ibrahim Al-Qurashi's Black Diamond Incense carries an Acquired verdict, a amber-led wear.

This is a seriously polarising beast. Some reckon it's a stellar Layton alternative with Middle Eastern flair and beast-mode performance; others get headaches and accuse it of being a synthetic mess with poor longevity. Sample before you commit to a full bottle.

Given its 'beast mode' performance and strong sillage, this leans towards evenings and cold weather. It's too potent for the office but shines on dates or formal occasions where its luxurious, bold presence can make an impression.

About

Black Diamond Incense kicks off with an unexpected marine and blackcurrant fizz, a bold, fruity-aquatic twist. This quickly mellows as a rich, smoky heart of vanilla and incense emerges, wrapped in creamy sandalwood. The dry down is deep and luxurious, an intense blend of amber, smoky oud, and soft leather, giving it a powerful, lasting warmth.
