White in Black

White in Black takes a relaxed elegance and the acceptance of contrasting facets as its theme. Karine Dubreuil-Sereni places cooler spices beside warmer sweetness, and the brightness of citrus against the darker suggestion of incense. Introduced in 2021, the eau de parfum develops its character through those changes in texture and temperature.

Italian bergamot and grapefruit bring a lively opening, with incense adding a quieter trace of smoke. Lavandin gives the heart a clean aromatic character, accompanied by cardamom, pink pepper and elemi. White cedarwood and patchouli provide a woody outline beneath Tolu balsam, Ambroxan and vanilla, drawing the composition towards a smoother, warmer finish.

Consider it for a day spent in a shirt and knitwear, or an outing that carries on into the evening. It offers a direction for someone who enjoys the softer depth of balsamic materials and vanilla but also wants citrus and herbs at the beginning. The 125mL bottle combines broad shoulders and matte black glass with a silver-coloured cap. Its writable finish allows a personal message to become part of the presentation, extending the fragrance’s invitation to leave an individual mark.
