Pascal Morabito
Pascal Morabito is the perfume arm of the eponymous French-Italian designer, an architect and jeweller from Nice who first appeared in the perfume world in 1980 with Or Black, a glossy black-glass flacon presented as the first jewel-perfume. The house has remained closely tied to that bottle and its variants — Or Noir, Or Blanc, Or de Calabre — long after the design world moved on. The line is run today as Parfums Pascal Morabito, an independent business positioned in the affordable end of designer perfumery rather than in luxury niche where its founder's jewellery work would otherwise place it. Distribution leans heavily on duty-free, Eastern European and African markets, with periodic relaunches of the original Or Black in updated formulations. The aesthetic remains unmistakably late-1970s Riviera: lacquered surfaces, gold accents, dense oriental compositions.
