Our verdict on In Black: Acquired

This one is a real love-it-or-hate-it affair. For some, it's a smoky, boozy, black cherry dream; for others, a cloying, synthetic headache in a bottle. Blind buy at your peril - this dark beauty demands a test sniff.

Its potent projection and unique, dark sweetness make In Black less suitable for polite office wear, but perfect for dates where you want to make a statement. The rich, almost boozy, and often polarising character isn't ideal for casual daytime use or sport, but could work for formal evening events.

About

In Black unfurls with a blast of sour cherry and tart grapefruit, soon mellowing to a heart laced with candied violet, peach, and a whisper of white florals. The dry down is where the magic (or the mayhem) happens, with a rich, dark licorice note taking centre stage, softened by creamy vanilla, an earthy patchouli, and a touch of musk. It's a sweet but often challenging blend, leaning into a distinctly 'gothic gourmand' territory.
