G Parfums launched Black Swan in 2022 — and it was a brilliant move. A unisex fragrance rooted in the spicy, animals, east, and wood families. Perfumer Oleg Grabchuk poured every ounce of mastery into this one. Available as eau de parfum.
Brand country — Ukraine, with its deep-rooted relationship with the fragrance industry. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
The fragrance is highly persistent and lasts on the skin for up to 8–10 hours, gradually revealing its notes and allowing you to enjoy the full bouquet throughout the day
The scent is clearly present near you, but it does not fill the entire space
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 Black Swan evolves as a cohesive olfactory arc, where accents shift without rush and without gaps. The signature of G Parfums is clear in the way notes appear and fade. Every decision feels deliberate, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Eau de parfum sets a balanced rhythm of unfolding.
The internal accord map rests on these accords: Animalistic, Citrus, Gourmet and Floral without random overlap. Additional accords such as Musc, Wood and Spicy add depth to the backdrop. The profile is unisex, which makes the scent profile easier to read.
Without strict stage separation the fragrance opens as a single chord with a warm spicy mood: Castoreum, Civet, Guaiac wood, Lemon, Patchouli, Rose and Saffron.
The middle and base stages are read as a continuous motion from lift to depth, which gives the structure continuity.
At the note-group layer the composition is built around Animals, Wood, Citrus and Floral. The framework further includes Spicy, Musk and Gourmet.
Taken together Black Swan sounds complete from start to finish — the first stage creates momentum, the middle layer carries the identity, while the drydown anchors the memory. These are the fragrances best understood through real development.
