Black Salt
Black Salt by Heretic Parfum is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with black pepper, lime, mandarin and eucalyptus, moves into sambac jasmine, water lily, rose and sea salt and dries down to seaweed, labdanum and petrichor. Expect around 6 hours of wear, and it projects softly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Black Pepper Dry and prickly. Gives a fragrance grip and a bit of bite.
- Lime Sharper and greener than lemon. Reads a bit tropical, a bit barbershop.
- Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
- Eucalyptus Sharp, camphorous, clears the head. Reads as clean more than green.
Heart
- Sambac Jasmine Greener, more tea-like jasmine. Less indolic than grandiflorum.
- Water Lily Watery floral. Soft, cool and slightly green.
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
- Sea Salt Mineral and dry. Skin after a day at the beach.
Dry-down
- Seaweed Salty, green and faintly funky. Real coastline rather than a bottle of 'fresh'.
- Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
- Petrichor Rain on hot stone and dust. The smell of a storm arriving.
