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 Heroin opens with an intense, almost medicinal vanilla and creamy almond, quickly introducing a green, herbal bitterness from absinthe and the earthy, slightly waxy depth of iris. As it evolves, the fragrance settles into a complex, opulent base where rich resins meld with animalic leather, smoky oud, and earthy patchouli, underpinned by a smooth sandalwood and dry oakmoss. It's a journey from sweet intrigue to dark, sophisticated warmth.
