This second edition of Black Baccara launched in 2023 and retired in 2024. It is part of the Amorphous Archive and is no longer in production. Please explore the current collection.
Aroma palette is a woody floral. Highlights include black rose, burning embers, woody nuances of bois de rose and cedar, black honey, and Bulgarian rose.
The artist's poetic homage to the profound symbolism of the black rose, this enchanting fragrance is a captivating exploration of the beauty that thrives in the depths of darkness. Diverging from its 2010 version, the namesake of this fragrance has undergone a nuanced transformation in its 2023 version. The black rose accord takes center stage, imparting a more subtle presence. This subtle evolution, dancing seamlessly with other notes, adds a layer of sophistication to the fragrance.
Unlike its predecessor, the burning embers in this rendition do not read as smoky but rather subtly evoke the elemental presence of fire. This delicate dance is complemented by the woody mix of rosewood and cedar, further enhancing the fragrance's depth and complexity. A hint of Bulgarian rose and a swirl of black honey decorate the dry down, lifting the darkness ever so slightly. This version is less heavy than the 2010 version, with more of a vintage feel.
This gorgeous floral evokes the image of an everlasting dark rose blooming in the heart of a moonlit garden, being wrapped in a burgundy velvet cloak on a grey autumn day, and the memory of a bouquet from a love that lingers in memory.
