Black Oregano

Black Oregano from the French house Atelier Materi, composed by Céline Perdriel in 2025, is a woody fragrance with small touches of spice, resin, herbs, leather and citrus.

Lime, cardamom and rosemary open with a fresh, zesty and herbal brightness. The heart is unusual: oregano brings a warm, savoury and slightly peppery herb note, paired with Australian sandalwood for creamy smoothness and vetiver for a dry, earthy smokiness. The base deepens with labdanum and patchouli for warm, earthy resin, leather for a supple, smoky texture and agarwood (oud) for a dark, resinous woodiness.

It is worn by anyone. The herbal, woody and leathery profile suits autumn and winter, evenings and relaxed occasions, and it should appeal to those who like unusual herbal notes over smooth woods rather than sweet or floral scents.
