Fruity Floral Straight from 80's
There is something on the overall concept of Black Magic that seems to me like eighties fragrance done very well. At first, the concept - a magic fragrance, a dark enchantment, a presence that fills the air and concquers you. Very sexy, strong, much like the fragrances done on this era. And then, the overall aroma has that mixture of flowers, honey and berry that seems much like a good eighties fragrance.
Still, i think that Black Magic seems very modern and less invasive. The berries are tart, but also sugared too. Altough the concept is around the black ones, i smell a mixture of aromas that also remind me of red ones too, which seems less tart and more sweet maybe. I like how the berries seems to mix with a kind of mixture of honey, rose licqueur and a very good white floral accord that avoids the plastic touch that some of the 80's creations have.
The base is also less heavy and dated and instead of focusing on mossy aromas and patchouli it offers and velvet leather with a hint of darkness, but infused in vanilla and tonka. Both give a creamy and sweet touch, which doesn't make it sugary or too sweet. There is also a hint of woody incense that seems to complete the intriguing and complex aura of this black potion.
For some reason, while wearing this fragrance the Jay Hawkins come to my mind "I Put a Spell on You, and Now you are mine". It seems to be what happens if you like Black Magic. It's misterious like it's trying to seduce you. And after you fell on its trap, there is no turning back - and you will not want to turn back too.
