Skylar Black Sugar is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2025. Black Sugar opens with Sugar Cane, Bergamot, and Heliotrope, settles into a heart of Sandalwood and Rose, and dries down to a base of Vanilla Caviar, Molasses, and Amber. Skylar's Black Sugar carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This one is definitely for those with a sweet tooth; if you don't like smelling like a walking patisserie, steer clear. It's a divisive gourmand that leans heavily into the dessert trolley, making it a firm love-it-or-hate-it contender.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Winter

A winter perfume through and through - made for cold, dark months.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Date

Its overwhelming sweetness and gourmand nature make it completely unsuitable for the office, as evidenced by someone asking about popcorn. It's best suited for casual, relaxed settings where its dessert-like aroma can be appreciated without offending. It's too informal and cloying for a formal occasion.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood

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

Imagine a rich, syrupy opening with sticky sugar cane and a hint of powdery heliotrope that quickly deepens. The heart warms with a soft, creamy sandalwood and a whisper of rose trying to peek through the overwhelming sweetness. The base is pure indulgence, a thick vanilla caviar blended with dark, rich molasses and a warm amber, creating a dense, almost edible aroma that lingers.
