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 and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The scent of Classic Black evolves as a living composition, where layers reveal themselves with precision and warmth. The style of Close 2 is evident from the opening to the final trail. No excess details, only what works, and the structure feels complete all the way through.
As soon as the fragrance opens you detect radiant lemon-bergamot first notes: Bergamot, Grapefruit and Orange. These 3 notes set a burst of citrus freshness that gives the fragrance a clear opening statement.
When the opening settles you detect Geranium, Jasmine, Patchouli and Rose holding a velvety rose-iris direction.
The accord architecture is driven by these accords: Balsamic, Citrus, Gourmet and Floral forming a compact and readable structure. Secondary accord layers such as Musc, Wood and Spicy enrich the profile without taking over. The stylistic positioning is feminine, which clarifies the composition character.
At the note-group layer the profile is anchored in Citrus, Floral, Whiteflower and Wood. It also reaches into Balsamic, Musk, Spicy and Gourmet.
Overall Classic Black reads as a cohesive composition — the opening sets direction, the central phase adds depth, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. This is the type of composition best judged on skin.
