Candie's Black

Candie's Black by Candie's, released in 2023, is a peppery leather scent for men with a sweet base. Spicy is the word everyone uses; about half also find it gourmand, woody, floral, leathery and citrusy.

Mandarin orange opens it with a sweet, juicy zest, and black pepper with pepper adds a sharp, dry heat straight away. Neroli gives the heart a bittersweet, slightly green orange-blossom freshness that keeps the spice from feeling heavy. The base is where the character sits: leather for a smooth, slightly smoky grip, patchouli for an earthy, dark depth and vanilla for a creamy sweetness that softens the leather and gives the dry-down its gourmand edge.

It wears as a warm, modern masculine scent that suits autumn and winter and the evening, with the mandarin and neroli keeping the opening fresh enough for daytime. It suits someone who likes pepper and leather but wants vanilla to round them off rather than leaving them raw.
