Black Princess Haute Fragrance Company — a 2017 fragrance that needs no introduction. A feminine fragrance from the floral family. The fragrance was crafted by perfumer Vincent Ricord. In eau de parfum — and that's all it takes to fall in love.
The sillage is delicate — an intimate cloud that stays close to the skin. Every application feels like a little ritual — longevity is low. France is where this fragrance comes from — and it shows. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
The fragrance has low persistence and lasts on the skin for about 2–3 hours, gradually fading and smoothly revealing its main notes
A subtle trail—just a hint of fragrance
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 olfactory structure of Black Princess unfolds as a continuous scent journey, where layers reveal themselves with precision and warmth. The creative approach of Haute Fragrance Company comes through in the pacing of the notes and the overall aesthetic. Nothing here feels random, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Eau de parfum supports the right density and pace of development.
The olfactory framework rests on these accords: Citrus, Floral, Musc and Wood with each one in a clear role. Secondary accord layers such as Amber and Spicy expand the olfactory volume in the background. The stylistic positioning is feminine, which makes the scent profile easier to read. In wear duration Low indicates a stable lasting impression.
Right at the start you detect fresh floral first notes: Neroli, Violet and ylang-ylang.
In the middle phase you sense Cardamom, Ginger and Rose carrying a warm-spicy direction.
At olfactory-group level the composition is built around Floral, Whiteflower, Spicy and Animals. The framework further includes Green and Musk.
Overall Black Princess reads as a cohesive composition — the first stage creates momentum, the central phase adds depth, while the drydown anchors the memory. These are the scent structures best judged on skin.
