Salvador Dalí Black Sun is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2007. Black Sun opens with Cedar, Labdanum, and Basil, settles into a heart of Fir, Geranium, and Clary Sage, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean. Salvador Dalí's Black Sun carries a Favourite verdict, a musk-led wear.

A cult classic that's been flying under the radar, Black Sun is the more aromatic, nuanced, and frankly better value alternative to Armani Code. Smooth, sophisticated, and surprisingly complex for the price.

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 Sun opens with a distinctive, slightly bitter aromatic freshness from basil and cedar, immediately setting a sophisticated tone. This transitions into a green, almost resinous heart with fir and geranium, providing a subtle, earthy depth. The dry down is where this scent truly shines, settling into a powdery, warm vanilla and tonka bean embrace, beautifully balanced by earthy vetiver. It's a comforting yet intriguing blend that feels both classic and modern.
