Black Soul

by Alexandra Carlin

Ted Lapidus Black Soul is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2009, created by Alexandra Carlin. Black Soul settles into a heart of Cardamom, Saffron, Resin, and Neroli. Ted Lapidus's Black Soul carries a Statement verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

Black Soul is a divisive, dark horse of a scent. Some find it a superior, spicier alternative to the omnipresent 1 Million, while others smell something far less appealing - from cheap imitation to something akin to camel urine. Try before you buy.

This scent's strong, spicy, and often polarising nature means it wouldn't suit a conservative office, but its warmth and depth make it a solid choice for nights out, dates, or formal gatherings where you want to stand out. It's too heavy for sports or casual daytime wear.

About

Black Soul opens with a confusing-some blast of mint and citrus, quickly ushering in a warm, spicy core of cardamom and cinnamon. Resins and tolu balsam give it an amber depth, while guaiac wood and cedar provide a clean yet dark woody foundation. A hint of musk lingers, adding a sensual, slightly powdery finish.
