Lorenzo Pazzaglia Black Sea is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Lorenzo Pazzaglia. Black Sea opens with Salt, Myrtle, Bergamot, and Ozonic Notes, settles into a heart of Sea Water, Orange Blossom, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Seaweed, Musk, Patchouli, and Oakmoss. Lorenzo Pazzaglia's Black Sea carries an Acquired verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This one's a beast-mode marine scent for those who love their aquatics dark, salty, and unapologetically dominant. While performance reports are wildly inconsistent, the scent itself is a unique, powerful journey into a stormy, deep ocean.

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 projection and distinct aquatic-animalic profile make it unsuitable for office wear, where it could easily overpower. It's more suited for making a statement on a night out or for personal enjoyment during casual activities, particularly in warmer weather.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Imagine a tempestuous sea: an intense opening of sharp salt and rainy ozonic notes, with a zing of bergamot and a hint of myrtle. The heart plunges deeper with marine accords, a wisp of orange blossom, and the creamy richness of ylang-ylang. It settles into a dark, earthy dry-down of patchouli and oakmoss, grounded by animalic ambergris and the brine of algae, capturing the raw, untamed power of the ocean.
