By the editors · 2 min readThe opening arrives boozy and bright—rum doused with bergamot, sweet but not cloying, like cocktail hour before the house lights dim. This is a rock-and-roll gourmand with leather boots and velvet lapels, honoring Black Sabbath's guitarist with more restraint than the name might suggest.
As it settles, cinnamon-spiked rose tangles with worn leather, balanced by the warmth of tonka and vanilla. The sweetness never veers saccharine; labdanum and ambergris anchor it with a smoky, animalic hum. Caramel threads through without dominating, more burnt sugar than confection.
The result feels like backstage at an old theater—spilled spirits, vintage leather jackets, sandalwood incense curling through velvet curtains. It wears bold but surprisingly wearable, suited to those who appreciate a theatrical edge without full costume. The drydown softens into skin-close musk and woods, holding longer than expected for something this rich.
