A journey into the past. Black III draws us into the depths of our soul. Like the return of spring, the citrusy-minty freshness awakens our deepest memories and strongest desires. Warm leather and wood notes draw us deeper into the spell of this fragrance and give us true bliss.
Mint and leather immediately and emphatically appeal to the nose, with the cool mint in particular showing off its full splendour. A distinctive, aquatic-sounding vanilla is added, giving the composition a profound multidimensionality. The undergrowth is already evident at this stage, pushing the fragrance from unisex towards masculine, with the leather playing an active role. A majestic, dominant smooth leather, dark and expansive, enveloped in a light, cool, resinous smoke.
Black III nevertheless retains its sweet touch, which is underscored by sandalwood and patchouli, which suits the fragrance very well. A complex leather note, equally aromatic, minty and fresh as well as balsamic and warm, with a delicately sweet spiciness. Excellent!
Bottle and packaging
The bottle and packaging of the Black Collection are inspired by the magnificent architecture of the Sheikh Zayed Mosque, which was officially opened in 2007 in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates. It is the largest mosque in the United Arab Emirates and the eighth largest in the world.
The interwoven patterns on the bottle and packaging reflect the careful craftsmanship of the mosque's arches and domes, emphasising the uniqueness and quality of the fragrances inside.
Opening the packaging is like opening a door to another world that combines the familiar and the unfamiliar in equal measure and offers a magical experience.
