Parfums Genty Black Magic is an Eau de Toilette. Black Magic opens with Mandarin, Geranium, and Galbanum, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Ylang-Ylang, and Blackcurrant, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Oakmoss, and Nutmeg. Parfums Genty's Black Magic carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

A truly baffling bargain that smells far more expensive than it is. If you're after a classic, mossy-rose chypre vibe that's been largely lost to time, this 'forest witch' scent is an absolute must-try.

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.

About

Black Magic opens with a verdant, almost bitter hit of galbanum, brightened by mandarin and a hint of green geranium. It quickly softens into a heart of lush rose and exotic ylang-ylang, given a dark, fruity twist by blackcurrant. The drydown is where the real magic happens: a deep, earthy blend of oakmoss and patchouli, dusted with a touch of spicy nutmeg, creating a rich, vintage chypre feel.
