The Fragrance World UK Black is an Eau de Parfum. Black opens with Truffle, Bergamot, Ylang-Ylang, and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Lotus Wood, Spicy Notes, and Orchid, and dries down to a base of Mexican Chocolate, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Incense. The Fragrance World UK's Black carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

After Tom Ford Black Orchid, and every bit as moody. Truffle and Mexican chocolate make it earthy-sweet, incense and patchouli darken it further, and it belongs to the evening.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the pyramid as published, not a timing claim. Each note's timing follows its listed tier, where it usually sits across many published pyramids (from ScentPrism) and its vapour pressure. A note comes through as the notes usually listed before it fade, judged from how other pyramids order the same pair. The thickness of a ribbon shows the note's share of what is left on the skin, which tracks how strongly it smells, because odour thresholds rise with vapour pressure. The shares come from how prominent wearers vote each note. It is a simple model, not a measurement.

About

Black is modelled on Tom Ford Black Orchid, which launched in 2006. A truffle note is the surprise at the start, with ylang-ylang, bergamot and blackcurrant giving a sweet-dark fruitiness. Orchid and lotus wood hold the heart, spiced with a little warmth. The base is Mexican chocolate, patchouli, incense and sandalwood, dense and slightly smoky. It carries at a moderate distance and lasts a fair while. This is a scent for cold evenings, with real weight, and an unusual one for people who want something darker than florals usually are.
