Korres Black Sugar is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2020. Black Sugar opens with Heliotrope, Lily, and Caramel, settles into a heart of Brown Sugar, Rosewood, and Rose, and dries down to a base of Amber, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean. Korres's Black Sugar carries a Favourite verdict, a vanilla-led wear.

A divisive scent where opinion is split whether it's a 'clean gourmand' or a floral soap. Unfortunately, there's broad consensus that it vanishes faster than a free sample table, making it a frustratingly fleeting experience.

About

Imagine warm caramel and brown sugar melting into a rich vanilla and tonka bean base, softened by a delicate touch of lily and heliotrope. It's a sweet, powdery amber that hints at dessert but maintains a clean, almost 'just showered' feel. The overall effect is a comforting, creamy sweetness that’s far from overpowering.
