Astrid Perfume Black Footed Cat — character and fragrance history
Astrid Perfume Black Footed Cat is a unisex fragrance from 2018 in an oil perfume format.
The release belongs to the American brand Astrid Perfume, which creates feminine and universal compositions with particular attention to richness and expressive character.
The name Black Footed Cat immediately sets the mood: the fragrance feels dark, independent and slightly mysterious. However, its formula is built not on heavy sweetness, but on a contrast of citrus sparkle, a spicy accent and woody depth.
Olfactive profile and notes
Black Footed Cat features orange, saffron, tangerine and a woody accord.
This combination brings together the citrus and woody families, while the spicy facet of saffron adds a dry, expressive nuance to the composition.
Orange and tangerine make the fragrance more lively and juicy, while the woody accord gives it a composed, confident character.
A note pyramid with separate top, middle and base accords is not provided for this release: all the listed notes belong to a blended composition.
For this reason, Black Footed Cat is best experienced as a cohesive olfactive image in which citrus brightness, spice and woods coexist and gradually shift in balance on the skin.
Development and sillage
At the opening, the fragrance can be expected to feel brighter and more citrusy, thanks to the orange and tangerine.
As it develops, the saffron accent becomes more noticeable, giving the scent character and a touch of exoticism, while the woody base keeps the composition from becoming overly light.
The database lists the sillage of Black Footed Cat as very strong, so the fragrance is intended to make a noticeable statement and suits those who enjoy a perfume that leaves a distinctive impression behind.
Who is Black Footed Cat for?
Black Footed Cat is positioned as a unisex fragrance and is not tied to a strictly feminine or masculine style of expression.
On one person, it may unfold brighter and drier; on another, softer, warmer and more citrusy. Much depends on skin temperature and the surrounding environment.
Thanks to its combination of fresh citrus tones and a spicy-woody accord, the composition is versatile enough for daytime and evening looks, though its intense sillage should be taken into account in small spaces.
The exact amount recommended for application to skin and clothing is not specified for this fragrance.
Given its oil concentration and very strong sillage, it is sensible to test Black Footed Cat with a minimal amount, assessing its development on your own skin. Application to fabric should first be tested on an inconspicuous area.
The perfumer and its place in the Astrid Perfume line
The composition was created by Astrid Favreau-Hild Weinstock.
In her interpretation, the citrus notes do not become a simple, airy accord: saffron and woody nuances make them more composed, contrasting and expressive.
No separate collection for Black Footed Cat is specified in the available data, so it is more accurate to regard the fragrance as an independent release from Astrid Perfume.
Similar fragrances
Those interested in this profile may wish to explore Carolina Herrera CH Men, as well as Al Haramain Perfumes Atifa Noir and Nabeel Sandal.
These fragrances are presented as similar options for further exploration of rich, spicy and woody directions. However, Black Footed Cat stands out for its combination of orange and tangerine with saffron and its very pronounced sillage.
