Black Citrus by Vilhelm Parfumerie, composed by Jérôme Epinette in 2015, is a dark, spicy citrus with green and leathery sides. It takes a bright opening into smoky, earthy territory.

The opening brings Calabrian bergamot for a crisp, slightly bitter citrus and cardamom for a cool, aromatic spice. In the heart, mate adds a green, toasted and slightly smoky tea-like note, while violet brings a soft, powdery floral touch. The base of patchouli and birch is earthy and smoky, with birch giving a leathery, tar-like edge that explains the black of the name.

The profile suggests a distinctive, moody citrus. Worn by anyone, it would suit autumn days, the office and evenings, for someone who likes citrus but wants it darker and more textured, with smoke and leather rather than a sunny, fleeting freshness. Its short formula points to a clear, focused idea.
