About

Black Bold opens with a vibrant burst of mandarin and spicy ginger, quickly joined by crisp mint and aromatic basil for a refreshing green kick. A watery lotus and clean violet leaf add a unique floral nuance, subtly softened by a gentle suede. The woody elements, including cedar, grounding the fresh notes for a surprisingly versatile, clean finish.
