A must-have from Morabito!
at least in my humble opinion. An ingenious blend of tea, herbs, leather and musk. If you like Old School Suggestion Hammers á la VC&A Pour Homme too much of a good thing but generally leathery and teel-heavy fragrances are not averse, should strike here. At least if there's one at the dumping price at the red outlet.
Citrus and cardamom go directly steep and quickly a fine but very present herbal note in the direction of lavender and sage is added. A subtle leather note surrounds everything and soapy musk can be more and more guessed as a primer. Sounds unexciting? Smells fucking awesome! Especially with cardamom-heavy scents I react quickly annoyed, but here everything is so well balanced that nothing disturbs. No tea, no leather, no fougère, no chypre. Nothing so real anyway. Something of all, but independent, not clearly assignable to a genre. Strong character. Persevering. Masculine with modern twist. Millions of miles from modern unit (fruit) porridge. A milestone of Morabito. Without knowledge of the vintage version I can say that.
A word on the "gloomy" impression of the fragrance which is often mentioned here. The name is only part of the program here. I don't think it's as gloomy as the first time I tested it anymore. Dark, yes, but not unapproachable. The teenage note, which comes with a certain basic sweetness, certainly contributes to this. Of course no comparison to current gourmands, but just right to make it "accessible". The dark knight of Morabito is not as cold as an "Encre Noir". Doesn't have to be. Because Or Black shows that even a "black" can be multi-faceted in terms of perfume technology.
