Volatility of notes: why the fragrance changes on the skin
You spritzed your favorite perfume in the morning, but by evening your skin smells like a different ...
The world first encountered Black Metal by John Richmond in 2021. A feminine fragrance belonging to the leather and floral families. Mylène Alran — the creative mind behind this fragrance. Released in eau de parfum.
Brand country — the United Kingdom, 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 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 olfactory structure of Black Metal is shaped as a layered story, where accents shift without rush and without gaps. The signature of John Richmond is recognizable in the way notes appear and fade. Every decision feels deliberate, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Eau de parfum supports the depth and body this composition needs.
As soon as the fragrance opens you catch radiant lemon-bergamot first notes: Bergamot, Elemi and Lemon. These 3 notes form sunny vitality that gives the fragrance a clear opening statement.
At the core of development you sense Davana, Mahonial and Rose holding a harmonious floral direction.
The olfactory framework rests on these accords: Balsamic, Citrus, Gourmet and Floral without random overlap. Additional accords such as Wood, Amber, Leather and Spicy enrich the profile without taking over.
At the note-group layer the composition is built around Citrus, Balsamic, Green and Floral. The palette also extends to Ambery, Leather, Wood and Spicy.
Overall Black Metal sounds complete from start to finish — the start forms character, the heart develops the core line, while the drydown anchors the memory. This is the type of composition best judged through real development.
