Our verdict on I: Acquired

This one is a divisive, almost confusing, beast. Some reckon it's a majestic masterpiece with beastly performance; others claim it's a watery disappointment that falls flat. Expect a full-on sensory journey to decide for yourself.

Casual

Its intimate projection and warm, sensual accords make it ideal for date nights and formal events, where it's often praised for garnering compliments. The polarizing views on performance mean it's a gamble for casual wear, and far too rich for sport, though some find it professional enough for the office.

About

Black I opens with a punchy, warm burst of cardamom and cinnamon, quickly softened by a green hint of cypress. The heart introduces creamy sandalwood and a smooth, almost sweet incense, which some find reminiscent of a jammy rose. As it settles, a dry down of deep woods - cedar and musk - emerges, with hints of balsamic warmth that linger beautifully. It's a complex, shapeshifting fragrance that keeps you guessing.
