Mexx Black is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2009. Black opens with Marigold, Peony, Freesia, and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Cedar, Lotus, Pear, and Apricot, and dries down to a base of Amber, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Mexx's Black carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

This one is a divisive little number. Some adore its comforting familiarity, others find it a bit dated and soapy. Expect a fruity-floral vibe that leans a touch unisex.

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.

Date

Its moderate projection and fresh-woody-fruity nature make it a good everyday scent, fitting for both office and casual wear. The subtle sensuality means it would also work for a relaxed date, though it lacks the gravitas for formal events.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

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

Mexx Black opens with a vibrant burst of blackcurrant and luminous fresh florals like peony and freesia, brightened by a hint of marigold. The heart unveils a juicy fruit cocktail of apricot, pear, and litchi, grounded by subtle cedar. A warm, creamy dry-down of sandalwood, amber, and vanilla adds a comforting, slightly powdery finish.
