Our verdict on Black: Favourite

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.
