For this Black Edition of the brand’s iconic For Men, the master perfumer Dorothée Piot plays on the striking contrast of luminous notes enhancing a sophisticated background of polished, dark woods.

About the fragrance: In the opening, a radiant accord of powdery violet and tangy tangerine feels as fresh as a clean white shirt. Cool pink pepper and nutmeg add the silvery flash of a pair of sleek, brushed-steel cufflinks.

Brightened by a hint of jasmine – the gleam of a silk tie – the heart of the fragrance unfolds like a dark, subtly textured fabric of smooth patchouli and earthy papyrus.

Darker still, the drydown weaves cool incense, tobacco-scented tonka bean and leather-tinged cedar wood Atlas on a base of musk and crisp, dry woods.

Top notes: Violet, Tangerine, Pink Pepper and Nutmeg.

Middle notes: Papyrus, Earthy Notes, Patchouli, Jasmine and Sweet Notes.

Base notes: Atlas Cedar, Moss, Tobacco, Incense and Tonka Bean.
