CreamyWhat does Only Black smell like?
The top notes of lavender, apple and bergamot give it a fresh, lightly fruity and aquatic start. In the heart, orange blossom, rose and violet bring out the floral side with a powdery, creamy softness. The base of woody notes, patchouli and amber takes over, sweetening the scent and settling the fougère structure on a woody footing. Guerlain Météorites Le Parfum and Marc Gebauer Purple Flamingo have a close profile.
