Black

This one surprised me. If someone had described it to me I’m not sure I’d even try it. But then I would’ve missed out. This is perfectly blended to produce the sensation of smelling decently burnt incense (no longer burning). That opening is incredible, and they dry down is just a smoother version of the open, which is awesome. Longevity isn’t amazing, but this is so good I’ve ordered a full bottle.

Begins with spicy chili pepper and peppercorn notes that tingle the sinuses. The scent is warming and breathes a warm sensation into the skin. It reads very savory, like a gourmet spice shop that ends in a very woody, suede like finish. Pairs well with tobacco scents, might suggest for those who smoke cigarettes. Would make a wonderful cologne but also comes off very unisex as well. A romantic and sexy scent but a little goes a long way and this scent sticks to the skin

This is a more muted version of Blackpepper. Warm like incense, but without the spicy top note of pepper. Doesn’t last as long, unfortunately, but I wear it often.

Black by CdG dries down much better than the initial spray. I almost hate it at first, but over time it becomes more elegant.

It's nostalgia wrapped in something new and exciting.

Strong black pepper vibes. Performance seemed short as well.

Woodsy, masculine, smoky- exactly as described

It's kind of strange. Very strong wood base to it, with a spicy pepper accent. People seem to notice and comment, and it's usually positive. It's not a sillage monster, you may need to reapply throughout the day. I generally use it for work, as it's not too busy of a fragrance.

It's a little too similar to WonderWood. I prefer Black to WW because of the added pepper dynamic, but it's not a very complex fragrance at all.

Worth trying a sample if you're a fan of heavy wood scents, but don't have expectations of a complex scent.
