Wildblack

Wildblack by the Italian house Rockford is a spicy, woody scent with a warm amber base and a leathery edge, positioned as a masculine fragrance. Spicy, woody, amber and citrus impressions are shared by everyone who describes it, and about half also find it gourmand or leathery.

Grapefruit and bergamot give a bright, slightly bitter opening, with apple adding a crisp, juicy sweetness. Ginger and cinnamon then bring a dry heat, and thyme and artemisia a herbal, slightly bitter edge. Incense adds a thin line of smoke through the middle. Patchouli and vetiver form an earthy, rooty base, and leather with amber gives the drydown a warm, smooth, slightly animalic finish.

Wildblack suits autumn and winter and evening wear, and it will appeal to someone who likes spiced woods with a bit of fruit at the top and leather underneath rather than anything clean or fresh.
