Black Amber, from Agonist was released at unknown year. The perfumer behind this creation is unknown. It has the top notes of Davana, Incense, Labdanum, and Seaweed, middle notes of Cedarwood, Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha, Incense, Tobacco Blossom, and Vetiver, and base notes of Ambergris, Patchouli, Sandalwood, Styrax, and Vanilla.
My oh my I've fallen hard for this fragrance. The opening is like a turbo charged, sweet candied cherry and cinnamon which is absolutely to die for. Then it hits you with the sharpness of resins, some fresh olibanum type then my beloved labdanum being prominent. The drydown is expected due to the name but the top notes hide the amber accord to come very well. That drydown consists of a complex sweet, amber accord of styrax, maybe a hint of vanilla and tobacco? This fragrance is wonderful...such a great opening so sweet and then a very nice incense and amber smell in the drydown. I need this in my life...I absolutely love it! Update: The amber accord goes on strong after the top and mid notes have faded away it's cozy and long lasting. I'm so glad that one of these fragrances is a winner because the flacons from this Swedish house are magnificent and I will definitely be getting this.
