By the editors · 2 min readBlack Cube opens with lavender sitting alongside pink pepper and nutmeg — aromatic and faintly spiced rather than sweet or soapy. The opening is composed and deliberate, with the pepper keeping the lavender from drifting into softness.
Oud and violet meet in the heart, anchored by frankincense and ambergris. The oud here reads dry and resinous, the violet adds a cool, almost powdery dimension, and the frankincense ties both together with a smoky thread.
Sandalwood, benzoin, and cedar in the base bring a warm, smooth finish. The result is a layered woody-aromatic with real depth, shifting comfortably across cool-weather occasions from evening outings to quieter moments at home.
