Black Citrus
Black Citrus by Vilhelm Parfumerie is an unisex eau de parfum from 2015 in the niche price tier. It opens with cardamom and bergamot, moves into mate and violet and dries down to birch, patchouli and vetiver. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
Heart
- Mate Dry, smoky, bitter green tea. Toasted rather than fresh.
- Violet Powdery, sweet and a bit retro. Parma Violets in flower form.
Dry-down
- Birch Clean pale wood. The leaves, not the tar.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
