Favourite Black

Favourite Black, released by Hemel Paris in 2024, is a citrus fragrance with a strong green side and musk and amber each about half as strong, plus lighter resin and leather.

Lemon and sweet orange give a bright, juicy opening, and juniper berries add a crisp, gin-like freshness. Mate brings a green, slightly tea-like, herbal note, and oregano a savoury, aromatic edge. As it settles, the darker side appears: oakmoss gives a damp, earthy greenness, incense a resinous smoke, and leather a supple, slightly smoky texture. Tonka bean softens the base into a warm, smooth, gently sweet finish.

Worn by anyone, it suits spring and autumn, office days and evenings out. It should appeal to those who like fresh citrus with a dark, mossy, leathery base, a scent that starts bright and ends brooding.
