A unique visual signature based on accords, character, and seasonality
The caviar accord materialises as a salty, almost ozonic shimmer—think sea salt crystallised on skin—whilst cedarwood arrives with sharp, resinous clarity. Oud lurks beneath, adding a whisper of smoke before the herbal brigade begins its ascent.
Lavender and sage claim dominion, their peppery, aromatic qualities lending an almost herbal-tea warmth to the composition. The caviar top note has receded into memory, replaced by a green, slightly dusty quality from the rosemary that transforms Black Caviar into something contemplative and introspective.
Patchouli and vetiver emerge as the dominant players, their earthy, soil-like character deepening into something woody and austere. Oakmoss adds a cool, almost damp-stone quality that lingers, creating a sophisticated finish that suggests vetiver-soaked suede rather than conventional fragrance warmth.
Black Caviar announces itself as a fragrance of deliberate paradox: an aquatic composition that rejects any semblance of watery freshness in favour of something altogether more mineral and briny. The caviar accord—that gleaming, salty-sweet topnote—immediately establishes the scent's unusual territory, evoking the lustre of mother-of-pearl rather than the beach. It's paired with cedarwood that arrives with a pencil-shaving dryness, creating an almost carbonated sensation, before oud emerges as a subtle tether to earthiness.
This is a fragrance for those who find conventional fresh compositions insipid. It possesses the spiced herbal backbone of a high-quality gin rather than a fragrant soap, with lavender, sage and rosemary intertwining in the heart to create an aromatic intensity that borders on medicinal—though never clinical. The patchouli, oakmoss and vetiver base doesn't sweeten the composition but rather grounds it, anchoring that peculiar caviar-and-cedarwood opening to something substantial and deliberately woody.
