About Black Licorice
Black Licorice: A Dark, Resinous Leather Fragrance from Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab
Black Licorice is the latest perfume from Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab, a unisex launch from 2026 in the leather fragrance family. The scent is the work of perfumer Elizabeth Moriarty Barrial, who pairs black licorice with labdanum, benzoin, champagne, leather and plum.
Combining resinous depth with a soft gourmand twist, Black Licorice is supported by amber, soft spicy, balsamic, warm spicy and musky accords. It is a study in contrasts: dark yet bright, sweet yet earthy.
The most striking thing about this composition is how black licorice becomes something refined. It's not a childish sweet; instead, it melts into a leathery structure with a dry edge, while labdanum supplies a distinctly balsamic undertone.
Benzoin adds a creamy, resinous sweetness, and plum gives the formula a fruity depth that rounds off the harshness of the leather. Champagne lifts the blend with a subtle sparkle, preventing the darker notes from becoming too dense.
The stated accords — amber, soft spicy, balsamic, warm spicy and musky — point to a smooth, skin-hugging wear rather than a loud statement. The fragrance sits close, creating an aura that feels intimate and deliberate.
The available information doesn't split the fragrance into top, heart and base notes; instead, the notes are presented as a whole. That leaves room for each wearer to discover how the scent evolves on their skin.
Those with a preference for resinous, amber-led perfumes will find Black Licorice particularly appealing during cooler months or evening occasions.
This one is for perfume lovers who enjoy a plush leather with balsamic warmth, or anyone drawn to black licorice and bold unisex scents. It suits those who favour personality over crowd-pleasing formulas.
Black Licorice is a strong, characterful release from Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab. It offers the daring sweetness of black licorice wrapped in a resinous, gentle leather embrace — a must-smell for collectors and newcomers alike.
