It’s almost a joke that after 40 years, the ‘white’ version of Aromatics Elixir, so mythical and characterful, has been released without anyone getting excited, and now they’re bringing out the ‘dark’ one with just five ingredients, one of which is synthetic ‘fruit’. At least this one has myrrh to try and fit its spiritual and relaxing concept. We’ll have to try it. It seems Clinique is trying to imitate YSL with their late flankers; while Opium maintains coherence in its versions for different occasions, we’ll see if they regain their footing after three discreet launches.
I loved it… Its herbal and powdery heart just blew my mind!
Absolutely stunning. Aromatics by Narciso Rodriguez isn’t for me due to its roasted warmth, but it’s the best in the mass market in years. It smells like a witch, a sorcerer, and European fairy tale villains. The longevity is spectacular, and at sixty euros, it’s a gem to be grateful for in these times of cheap knock-offs. It opens strong and insolent, with smoky herbal notes and hints of wax, an ambiguous and diabolical introduction. At first, it seems like a masculine perfume, poisonous and thick, until the jasmine and white flowers reveal its true face: oily, animalic jasmine and neroli, bolstered by a tonka vanilla that gives it a metallic, herbaceous, and sharp edge like a dagger. Here it smells like Fleur du Male, but more dangerous and sexual. As it dries down, it becomes more conventional, flirting with gourmand notes; the skin scent is earthy, warm, and reminiscent of crushed biscuits, sweet yet woody and wintry, like a Grimm’s fairy tale. I don’t quite catch the myrrh, though I’m sure it’s there. I needed to try it to complete the Aromatics trio in the UK, with the original being my favourite and the white version a surprise. This black one, although I don’t like it due to the tonka, is a small, overlooked gem, hidden amongst pink bottles. If you enjoy narcotic and enchanting perfumes, don’t let it slip away.
What a strange and beautiful perfume. I’ve never heard anything like this before, and it’s not that I think it’s super original, but it’s a scent that is between clean, dark and gloomy (and I assure you I wasn’t led astray by its bottle, which I also find very beautiful, simple but very beautiful). A perfume that could well be for daily wear (because it’s not overpowering) but that makes you, during the hours it lasts (4 to 6 hours), be surrounded by a mysterious trail and, as I’ve mentioned, clean, very clean, bordering on soapy (but a modern soap… nothing like those classics, which by the way, I love). Without a doubt, this perfume is a counterpoint. Notes where none stand out to take the spotlight, making it very attractive and interesting. For a witch (as Dame de Noir describes), but a clean witch, very intellectual and studying how to curb coronavirus from her lost little spot in a lush Andean forest, for example. Truly, I think it’s a super perfume worth noting.
A rare and gorgeous perfume, I’ve never smelled anything like it. It seems super original, a clean, dark, and gloomy scent (and I’m not fooled by the bottle, which is also exquisite, simple, and pretty). It could be a daily wear because it’s not overpowering, but it leaves you surrounded by a mysterious and very clean trail for 4 to 6 hours, bordering on soapy but modern, nothing like those classics that I love. Without a doubt, it’s a counterpoint. The notes don’t stand out to take the lead, which makes it very attractive and interesting. For a witch, as DameDeNoir says, but tidy, intellectual, and studying to stop the coronavirus from her lost cabin in a lush Andean forest… 🤗 It’s truly a super perfume to keep in mind.
I was lucky to find it at a very good price; it reminded me of Alien by Mugler, probably due to the jasmine; this one has its touch of tonka and myrrh while Alien has woods. I prefer this Clinique presentation. It lasts its length. I never apply perfume unless I have freshly bathed skin, and from that point on I can say it lasts. It’s a happy perfume.
So handsome! It’s a work of art. I bought three bottles in case they take it off the market; it’s super nocturnal, vampiric, and magical. I own the Dior Addict and although they are similar, this one is more for the night. I’m in love.
Beautiful, a work of art. I had to get three bottles in case it gets discontinued: so nocturnal, so vampiric, so enigmatic. I have Dior Addict and while they have a resemblance, this one is more nocturnal. I’m in love.
I discovered that if you mix a vial of sample with 30ml of glycerine, the scent doesn’t dissolve but is enhanced because glycerine is a fixative, and that’s what I did with this sample; now I have 30ml of this wonderful perfume that I apply to my hands and décolletage. It doesn’t carry amber but smells like dark ambergris mixed with vetiver. Very elegant. Without a doubt, when I finish this bottle I’ll buy a full one.
I was let down tremendously by this perfume. I had read its composition and reviews and expected something much more enigmatic. Oh, I want to be a witch too, I thought, and I went straight to a store to try it, eager to find something of the Magie Noire by Lancôme type before they reformulated it. It doesn’t smell bad, but I believe only lovers of perfumes like Lou Lou by Cacharel will appreciate it, to which it resembles remarkably in some phases.
Woods, jasmine, and resins. That’s what stands out most, plus the tonka bean which is there from start to finish. It feels wintry, enveloping, warm, and slightly powdery.
Woods, jasmine and resins. These are what are most perceived, along with the tonka bean note that is present from start to finish. The fragrance feels winterly, enveloping, warm and slightly powdery.
If you’ve been startled by Aromatics Elixir (especially the vintage), here comes In Black, something different, unafraid to position itself as a well-balanced fragrance that deserves more attention. It remains soft yet perceptible for many hours after application, despite starting quite intense with a classic style that has caught my eye. It’s a perfume that manages to draw the eye towards autumn, nostalgic for the summer just passed and grateful for this season, perfect for wearing something more substantial. After a notable bitter-citrus prelude, the jasmine comes into play very quickly, though I expected it to have more prominence; it feels almost rooted. Over the hours, the perception changes completely and I’m surrounded by a cloud of jasmine with woody and balsamic nuances that stays with me for a long time. The scent now becomes almost mystical, thanks to the blend with beautiful resins like slightly smoky myrrh floating above it, accompanied by a delicate caramel note and sweet powdery aromas like tonka bean. In this phase, it reminds me of the sensual, inimitable classic perfumery of the 80s; it’s an Aromatics that radiates calm but awakens all the senses. I’ve liked it; I don’t usually focus on perfumes at my age, but it seems perfect for a woman over 30.
This fragrance reminds me, without being a dupe, of Hypnotic Poison EDP. I thought both would be more potent, but they aren’t; however, they last and envelop with warmth and a certain enigmatic touch. All in all, I love it. I can’t identify the notes separately, but I like them all. I find it warm, sensual, resinous—not too floral, but more like a chypre with sweet amber or a very original resinous blend, perfect for autumn and winter, day and night. Versatile yet slightly seductive. Not for daily wear in many occasions. Dior Addict is also in the same ballpark. I have In White and it’s much more potent, an intense rose. Both have excellent longevity and aren’t expensive, being of outstanding quality; I prefer the black one because it’s more original.
It reminds me of Hypnotic Poison EDP, it’s not a dupe. I thought both would be more potent, but they aren’t; however, they last and embrace with warmth and an enigmatic touch. Overall, I love it. I can’t identify the notes separately, but I like them all. I find it warm, sensual, and resinous, not too floral, but more like a chipper with sweet amber or a very original resin, for autumn/winter, day and night, versatile but for seducing a little. It’s not for many daily occasions. The Dior Addict is also around. I have the In White and it’s much more potent, an intense rose. Both have good performance and aren’t expensive, being of excellent quality. I like the black one more because it’s more original.
Wow, it relaxes me immensely when I wear it; I feel like I’m in an elegant spa. It’s my go-to fragrance when I’m stressed. The notes are clearly distinguishable.
Wow, it relaxes me so much when I use it; I feel like I’m in an elegant spa. It’s my perfume when I’m stressed. I think the notes that make it up are noticeable.
Bought it blind and the first impression is that it closely resembles two of my own: First Snow by Victorinox (FS is simpler, with fresh mint and a camphor touch) and Intense pour Femme by S.T. Dupont (this one is a bit sweeter and creamier). It gives off a vintage vibe, reminding me of perfumes from the 80s or 90s. Very lovely; we’ll see how it lasts with wear, but as they say here, it could be the scent of a luxury spa.
