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 floral-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.

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.
