About This Perfume
Think smoky incense, tobacco leaves, warm resin: that is Alexandre.J Oscent Black. It opens with aniseed and ginger, moves into frankincense, tobacco and cedarwood and settles on labdanum, musk and vanilla. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.
It is best in fall and winter and is an evening scent. Reach for it for casual days. Released in 2012.
In the community's experience it lasts roughly a working morning or afternoon, and projects to about arm's length.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something woody and smoky for casual days.
- Sample first if: smoky is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you dislike woody fragrances.
Around $66.

For Alexandre.J Imperial Peacock (Eau de Parfum, 2022), expect sweet almond custard, cinnamon sugar and warm powder: rhubarb and heliotrope up top, balsamic notes underneath.
