New Brand Parfums Only You Black is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2018. Only You Black opens with Bergamot, Pepper, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Green Notes, Lavender, and Geranium, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Vetiver, and Patchouli. New Brand Parfums's Only You Black carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This budget-friendly scent delivers a warm, spicy hit that punches above its weight for the price. Don't expect beastly performance, but it's a solid everyday choice if you're after that Givenchy Gentleman-esque vibe without breaking the bank.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its warm spicy character and modest performance make it best suited for casual wear or dates where close proximity is desired. It's too soft for formal events and not fresh enough for sport, while its dark, cosy feel makes it less ideal for the office.

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

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium

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

Only You Black opens with a lively burst of black pepper and cardamom, brightened by a whisper of bergamot. The heart introduces a smooth, aromatic lavender note, alongside green accents that prevent it from becoming too heavy. The dry down settles into a woody embrace of vetiver and patchouli, creating a dark, resinous warmth that's subtly sweet and inviting. It's an accessible take on a warm, spicy profile.
