Its White Intense sibling opens on warm citrus and spice, but this Black edition turns herbal instead, lavender, nutmeg, bergamot and sage combining for a cool, sharp top. Geranium, rosyfolia, mahonial and cedarwood deepen the core into something green and softly woody. Maple wood, patchouli, tonka bean, cocoapulse and ambrofix close the drydown in significant depth, five materials layering into a dense, sweet finish. Cocoapulse alongside maple wood is a distinctly North American pairing, syrupy sweetness meeting a specific, less common wood. Musamam Black Intense Unisex Fragrance is a woody aromatic Eau de Parfum from Lattafa, suited to evening wear and special occasions. Lattafa gave the Black half of this pairing a considerably denser finish.
