The year 2021 gave us Cascading Silks Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab. By character, a unisex fragrance drawing from the floral family. Released in oil-based perfume.
Made in the United States. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
Sometimes the best decision of the day is a press of the atomiser. The official website of Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab — https://www.isseymiyake.co.jp.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich oil-based perfume composition with a soft opening, high durability, and an intimate trail
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The scent of Cascading Silks is shaped as a living composition, where notes flow with precision and warmth. The signature of Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab is clear from the opening to the final trail. Every decision feels deliberate, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Oil-based perfume keeps the depth and body this composition needs.
At olfactory-group level the composition is built around Ambery, Floral, Green and Fruit. It also reaches into Whiteflower. At family level the fragrance belongs to Floral.
When the pyramid is blended into one block the opening appears as one connected movement with a inspiring floral mood: Ambergris, Clove, Iris, Lavender, Red currant, Violet leaf and Wisteria.
The inner phases are felt as a continuous motion from lift to depth, which preserves the scent identity through drydown.
The olfactory framework rests on these accords: Aromatic, Floral, Fruit and Powdery forming a compact and readable structure. Background accords such as Amber enrich the profile without taking over.
Taken together Cascading Silks holds a coherent structure — the start forms character, the central phase adds depth, and the base secures the trail. These are the fragrances best judged on skin.
