Black Datura
A dramatic white‑floral amber, Black Datura whirls tuberose and datura through pink pepper and ylang ylang into a smoky resin heart, then settles into musky woods. It feels nocturnal, glamorous and a touch dangerous, ideal for dressed‑up evenings in cooler weather.

Black Datura
A dramatic white‑floral amber, Black Datura whirls tuberose and datura through pink pepper and ylang ylang into a smoky resin heart, then settles into musky woods. It feels nocturnal, glamorous and a touch dangerous, ideal for dressed‑up evenings in cooler weather.
Scent Development and Character
Black Datura opens with a dizzying white‑floral surge of tuberose and datura, brightened by ylang ylang and a dusting of pink peppercorn. The heart turns darker and more resinous, layering myrrh, Peru balsam, incense and labdanum around the narcotic florals. As it dries down, a warm, musky amber base unfurls over Chinese cedarwood, Haitian vetiver and amyris, leaving a long, shadowy woody trail.
Who It Is For and When to Wear It
Editorial estimate: Best for evening wear, formal occasions and nights out when you want a noticeable, sultry presence. Its intensity and resinous depth make it less suited to very casual or close‑quarters daytime settings. Editorial estimate: Most suited to autumn and winter; can work on cool spring nights but is generally too dense for hot summer days. Sillage is Editorial estimate: Strong, with a pronounced scent trail that radiates beyond arm’s length, especially in the first few hours. Longevity is Editorial estimate: Long‑lasting for an Eau de Parfum, commonly reported around 8–12 hours on skin.
