Honey pomelo and rose oxide in the heart add a soft, fruity touch. The base of violet leaf, ambroxan, cedarwood and patchouli gives a woody, lightly spicy footing, and the overall feel stays clean and synthetic.

Aurora Scents

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Aurora Scents Black Obsidian is a fresh, citrusy men's fragrance that opens on Italian mandarin orange, elemi resin and Italian bergamot. The citrus top notes give it a bright start, while elemi resin adds a slightly sharp, resinous edge. In the heart, pink pepper, jasmine sambac absolute and osmanthus bring a floral side that spice balances and sweetens. The base of Indonesian patchouli, Helvetolide®, Ambrox and moss settles it onto a green, woody ground. Longevity and sillage are rated good, though the number of votes is small, so those ratings are best read with caution. It is classed as a men's fragrance, and voters score its value for money highly. BMW Bergamood and Thameen Patiala have a close profile.
