Maison Magistral Black Sativa is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2026, created by Stéphane Jérôme Pernodet. Black Sativa opens with Bergamot and Cumin, settles into a heart of Mandarin and Litchi, and dries down to a base of Musk and Ambergris. Maison Magistral's Black Sativa carries a Statement verdict, a citrus-led wear.

This one's a proper grower, isn't it? Black Sativa takes a moment to hit its stride, but once it does, it's a wonderfully unique, divisive beast. Definitely not a blind buy, but for the adventurous, it’s a confident, sensual statement.

About

Black Sativa opens with a surprisingly sharp, almost challenging burst of bergamot and a distinctive cumin bite, demanding your attention. This initial boldness quickly mellows, giving way to an unexpected, juicy heart of mandarin and the sweet, exotic tang of litchi, a truly tropical interlude. The dry-down settles into a sophisticated, musky warmth, beautifully rounded out by a rich, salty ambergris that adds an animalic depth. It's a journey from zesty freshness to a profoundly sensual, intriguing finish.
