Description

Black Guava embodies the eternal duality of light and dark. The sweet, vibrant brightness of guava, full of life and energy, is overtaken by the smoky, seductive depth of oud - capturing the alluring mystery of shadow and darkness. The delicate balance between the two forces creates the unforgettable.

 

This fragrance bursts with the juicy brightness of guava, spiced with cardamom and the zesty kick of mandarin from Madagascar. As the heart unfolds, the floral elegance of rose and geranium is consumed by the dark richness of oud, creating a stunning contrast of sweet and smoky. In the base, earthy patchouli, smoky cypriol, and the animalic allure of grey amber form a brooding, resinous foundation. Together, these elements create a fragrance that feels alive - a captivating interplay of radiance and shadow.

Longevity and layering

Did you know that fragrance longevity can be greatly increased by beginning your routine with clean, moisturized skin? We recommend starting with a shower gel or soap that is either neutrally scented or in the same scent family as your perfume. Then, add a moisturizer and/or body oil and allow it to soak in. Finally, add your fragrance on top. This added moisture barrier will hold the scent molecules for more time, allowing the fragrance to last longer. Think of it as a primer for perfume!
You can also layer scented products (including lotion, soap, body oil, perfume oil, and other alcohol-based perfumes) to add depth, intensity, or a variety of other facets to your final fragrance. We suggest beginning with similar scents (such as two different citrus or vanilla fragrances) and testing those layering combinations, then branching out to more experimental pairings. Feeling stuck? Shared notes, even in very different fragrances, can help bring the final scent together. The sky's the limit - have fun!
