It is a refined, versatile fragrance ideal for daily professional use, offering a steady, sophisticated presence that lasts through the workday without feeling…
Reviews →Solid Black opens with a bright mix of peach, mandarin and bergamot, then settles into soft florals over a sweet vanilla, praline and musk base. It reads smooth, powdery and slightly creamy rather than dark or heavy. If you like citrus-fruity openings with a warm, sweet dry down, this is an easy one to sample.
