Black Tulip

by Julie Massé

Shay & Blue London Black Tulip is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Julie Massé. Black Tulip opens with Cyclamen and Snowdrops, settles into a heart of Plum and Tulip, and dries down to a base of White Chocolate and Woody. Shay & Blue London's Black Tulip carries an Acquired verdict, a fruity-led wear.

Black Tulip is a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. For some, it's a luscious plum and white chocolate dream, a sexy gourmand guaranteed to bag compliments. For others, it's a sickly sweet, medicinal headache in a bottle. Best sample before you splurge.

Its sweet and rich gourmand nature, coupled with reports of good longevity and projection, make it quite cloying for an office or sport setting. However, its 'sexy' and 'yummy' appeal positions it well for evenings out or casual wear, particularly in cooler weather.

About

Black Tulip opens with an unexpected flourish of dewy cyclamen and snowdrop, quickly giving way to the star of the show: a rich, dark plum. This juicy fruitiness deepens with a woody undercurrent before softening into a creamy, comforting white chocolate base. It’s sweet, fruity, and distinctly gourmand, yet retains a certain botanical intrigue from its floral top and heart.
