Blacklist
Blacklist is a dark woody aromatic with a green, slightly wild opening and a deep smoky core. Violet, coffee and tobacco give it texture, while incense, amber, vanilla and oud-style woods build a heavier, resinous dry-down. It looks geared toward fans of bold unisex niche scents rather than easy crowd-pleasers. If you like smoky woods with a powdery floral edge, it may.

There is no reliable wear-vote or review evidence here, so strong performance claims would be guesswork. From the composition alone, Blacklist looks like it may wear with some density, especially in cooler conditions, but it is still best approached as a sample-first fragrance if longevity and projection matter to you.

Blacklist looks dark, woody and smoky first, with a green herbal opening that quickly gives way to violet, coffee, tobacco and resin. The floral side seems powdery rather than fresh, and the sweetness appears controlled, coming mostly from amber, vanilla and tonka underneath the smoke and woods.

There is no solid wear data or community review body here, so it is best to stay cautious about performance claims. Still, the materials involved suggest a fragrance that can feel dense and persistent in cooler weather. It looks better suited to evenings, autumn and winter, and to wearers who are comfortable with richer textures. For a blind buy, this feels riskier than average. For a sample, it could be rewarding if the note list already sounds like your taste.

Fragranxe Review
EDITORIAL“Blacklist by Artemios Review”
Blacklist by Artemios is built like a dark niche composition with plenty happening at once. On paper, the structure points to a green aromatic opening, a textured heart full of violet, tobacco and coffee, and a dense base of woods, incense, amber, vanilla and oud. It is the kind of note pyramid that aims for atmosphere more than simplicity.
The opening looks especially unusual. Green notes, cannabis, saffron, thyme and davana suggest something herbal, slightly bitter and a little strange in a good way. This does not read like a bright fresh aromatic. It looks moodier from the start, with the green elements acting more as tension and lift before the fragrance settles into darker material.
Once it moves inward, the heart appears to be where Blacklist gets its identity. Violet stands out because it is supported both by the note list and the accord profile. That violet effect likely adds a powdery, cool-toned softness over the tobacco, coffee, woods and resins. Raspberry is listed too, but the overall build suggests a restrained fruity accent rather than a sweet fruity centre. The result is likely more shadowy and textured than lush.
The base is heavy with character. Guaiac wood, incense, gurjan balsam, amber, cedar, musk, tonka, vanilla, agarwood and oud create the picture of a smoky, balsamic dry-down with warmth and weight. Animalic notes are also listed, which suggests some roughness or depth around the edges. That makes Blacklist sound less polished and clean than many modern woody ambers. It may suit people who enjoy fragrance with a little grit and darkness.
From the accord balance, this seems more woody and smoky than overtly sweet. Amber, powdery and warm spicy facets are clearly present, while the sweeter base materials probably smooth the composition rather than dominate it. Coffee and violet are especially interesting here because they can push the scent in two directions at once, one darker and roasted, the other cooler and softly cosmetic.
There is no solid wear data or community review body here, so it is best to stay cautious about performance claims. Still, the materials involved suggest a fragrance that can feel dense and persistent in cooler weather. It looks better suited to evenings, autumn and winter, and to wearers who are comfortable with richer textures. For a blind buy, this feels riskier than average. For a sample, it could be rewarding if the note list already sounds like your taste.
FAQs
What does Blacklist by Artemios smell like?+
It comes across as dark, woody and smoky, with green herbal facets up top, then violet, coffee, tobacco and resins in the heart. The base looks rich and heavy, built around woods, incense, amber, vanilla, tonka, musk and oud-style depth.
Is Blacklist more smoky or sweet?+
Based on the accord structure, it leans more smoky, woody and ambery than sweet. There is sweetness in the base from vanilla and tonka, but it does not look like a dessert-style fragrance.
Does Blacklist smell like coffee?+
Coffee is listed in the heart and appears as a supporting accent rather than the whole story. Expect it to add darkness and bitterness to the woody tobacco core instead of reading like a straightforward coffee perfume.
Is there a noticeable violet note in Blacklist?+
Yes. Violet is both listed in the notes and reflected strongly in the accord profile, so it is likely one of the details that gives the fragrance a powdery, slightly cool, floral haze over the darker base.
Is Blacklist unisex?+
Yes. It is presented as a fragrance for women and men, and the note structure supports that. Its smoky woods, resins, coffee and violet profile should appeal to wearers who like darker unisex niche styles.
Is Blacklist good for everyday wear?+
It may feel too dense or distinctive for some people as an easy everyday reach. The smoky, resinous and aromatic profile suggests it is better suited to evenings, cooler weather, or situations where you want something more characterful.
What season suits Blacklist best?+
Its woody, smoky, ambery and balsamic profile suggests autumn and winter are the safest fit. In hot weather, the richer base and resinous character may feel heavier.
Does Blacklist have oud?+
Yes. Agarwood and oud are listed in the base, alongside guaiac wood, cedar, incense and amber. It looks more like part of a broader dark woody blend than a pure oud-focused composition.
Is Blacklist very fruity?+
Not especially. Raspberry and davana add a fruity tint, but the main direction still looks woody, smoky, violet-tinged and resinous rather than juicy or playful.
Would Blacklist suit someone who likes green fragrances?+
Only partly. It opens with green notes, cannabis and thyme, but the overall structure moves quickly into darker woods, smoke, coffee and amber. If you want a crisp fresh green scent, this may not be the right fit.

Dupes & Alternatives
COMMUNITY DUPESCOREEvidence is too thin for a direct dupe claim, and this does not look like a simple copycat scent from the note list alone. The safer comparison lane is dark woody niche perfumery with smoky resin, coffee, tobacco and a powdery floral edge. If that general style is what you enjoy, compare within that territory, but do not expect an exact one-to-one match without testing.
