By the editors · 2 min readLove in Black has an unusual architecture: Virginia cedar opens the composition where you'd typically expect citrus, providing a dry, structural note that gives the fragrance immediate personality. Clove and iris in the heart create a spiced-powdery accord, the clove's warmth and the iris's cool powder meeting somewhere between the two.
Bulgarian rose, black currant, and violet form the base — a fruity floral foundation that arrives last, lending sweetness and roundness to a composition that opened with dryness. The black currant adds a slightly tart edge that keeps the rose from reading purely sentimental. An unorthodox structure from a house that usually follows convention; the result is a feminine that wears from formal to intimate.
