Jusbox Black Powder is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Julien Rasquinet. Black Powder opens with Chili, Apple, and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Suede, Tobacco, and Incense, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Tonka Bean. Jusbox's Black Powder carries an Acquired verdict, a fruity-led wear.

Seriously divisive - some call it a masterpiece, others a synthetic nightmare. This isn't a crowd-pleaser; it's a bold, unapologetic statement for those who dare to wear it. Don't even think about a blind buy.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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 potent, long-lasting nature and moderate sillage make it unsuitable for office wear, where it would overwhelm. It shines at night and in cooler weather, making it an excellent, attention-grabbing choice for dates or evening formal events. Too heavy for casual day-to-day wear or any active pursuits.

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.

About

Black Powder kicks off with a sharp, fruity hit of apple and blackcurrant, spiced up by chili, before plunging into a dark, smoky heart. Suede and tobacco create a rough-around-the-edges leather accord, deepened by a brooding incense. The dry down is a comforting, earthy embrace of sandalwood, patchouli, and tonka bean, leaving a trail of sophisticated grit.
