About Black
Black by Vlad Rekunov: A Dark, Smoky Men's Fragrance
Black, launched in 2021, is a men's fragrance created by perfumer Vlad Rekunov. It's a bold, brooding composition that balances sweet fruit with smoky resins and woods.
The opening is surprisingly fresh, with blackcurrant, pineapple, and a hint of cannabis that gives the scent an edgy, modern twist. But the heart quickly warms into tobacco, coffee, and leathery birch.
The fragrance opens with a burst of blackcurrant and pineapple, green notes, and a subtle cannabis accord. The herbal and green facets keep it from being too sweet, while the fruit adds a luminous sparkle.
In the heart, Moroccan jasmine softens the blend, but the real stars are tobacco, coffee, and birch. Resins add a balsamic richness, and woody notes provide a sturdy backbone.
The base is a smoky blend of vanilla, incense, smoke, and oud. Oakmoss brings an earthy, slightly damp quality, while musk wraps everything in a warm, skin-tight embrace.
Black is built around accords that are smoky, woody, fruity, and amber-like, with green and sweet nuances. It's a dense, complex scent that suits cooler weather and evening events.
Vlad Rekunov shows his skill for pairing raw ingredients with elegant florals and resins. The result is a fragrance that feels both timeless and contemporary, with a dark personality that demands attention.
Men who enjoy dark, intense fragrances with character. Perfect for those who like smoky woods, incense, and a touch of sweetness. Ideal for nighttime wear and colder seasons.
Black is not a shy fragrance. It evolves beautifully on the skin, moving from fruity-fresh to smoky-resinous within a few hours. If you're looking for a distinctive, high-impact scent, Black deserves a spot on your shelf.
