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.

About

Black Sugar opens with a surprising twist of heliotrope, lily, and rich caramel, creating an initial impression that’s both floral and confectionary. As it settles, the heart reveals warm brown sugar blended with the woody elegance of rosewood and a subtle rosy hue. The base solidifies into a cosy amber, smooth vanilla, and creamy tonka bean, leaving a soft, inviting trail. Don't expect a straightforward gourmand; there's a definite clean, almost soapy undertone balancing the sweetness.
