Black Crème
Black Crème by BORNTOSTANDOUT is an unisex extrait de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with milk, ambrette seed and iris, moves into oud, leather, vanilla and myrrh and dries down to caramel, sandalwood, georgywood and amber. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Milk Soft, lactonic and creamy. Makes everything around it rounder.
- Ambrette Seed The only natural musk. Pear-like, warm and slightly boozy.
- Iris Cool, powdery, slightly carroty and expensive. The luxury note.
Heart
- Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
- Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Myrrh Bitter, smoky resin. Ancient-smelling and slightly cool.
Dry-down
- Caramel Burnt sugar. Rich, sticky and unapologetically sweet.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Georgywood A lab-made wood with a velvety, ambery hum. A close cousin of Iso E Super.
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
