Black Shadow Eau de Parfum

This fragrance is SO GOOD! Anyone ordering should know by the name that this one is for the dark fragrance lovers obviously! The scent is rich and sillage is great. If you want something light and "refreshing" then BLACK SHADOW is not for you, and there are tons of light fragrances out there for you by Dossier and other brands. If you love cold weather sultry dark rich fragrances then BLACK SHADOW is for you!

I really enjoy this fragrance for the scent memories it brings up. The blend of warm, sm*key, and pepper-y scents reminds me of holiday mass as a kid, where they would light incense, the smell of the wooden pews, the whole thing. As for the scent itself, it's very well blended and personally I find it androgynous. I understand people seeing it as masculine for it's very wo*dy and earthy profile, but to me the smell of trees isn't gendered, you just have to like smelling like trees. Personally, I love that. I also like how the wo*d notes aren't super dry (think pickled sandalwood) or super wet (think oakmoss), they're just full and rich. The scent feels alive. Very well blended, and it seems to stay a mostly consistent scent throughout the wear (I don't get super distinct top, middle, and base phases). Longevity is ok on skin, but it lasts a long time on clothes. It also layers well with a variety of fragrances, my favorite of which so far is with Spicy Mimosa from Dossier.

I’m unsure as to when or where this “fragrance” would be fitting. I truly cannot find words to describe this heinous smell. The only likeness I could pick out was “pencil shavings”. The fragrance was so pungent and lingered for so long that I had to open all the windows in my three-story home for hours in order for it to dissipate. It was sickening.
