In 2016, the Italian brand Mandarina Duck introduced Black & White, a fresh, contrasting eau de toilette for men that immediately caught the attention of style enthusiasts.
Released as part of a limited-edition collection in a black-and-white palette, the fragrance reflects the brand’s philosophy: minimalism, dynamism, and impeccable taste.
The scent belongs to the fougère and woody fragrance families, with its character built around a play of opposites—refreshing greenery and warm spice.
It is an ideal choice for confident men who appreciate understated elegance. Learn more about the brand on its official website: voronoicollection.com.
The top notes greet you with a juicy citrus accord and green violet leaf—a sparkling, invigorating opening.
At the heart, soft orange blossom (neroli) unfolds in a duet with sweetly spicy tonka bean. The base features a warm woody accord, lending longevity and sophistication.
Note groups: citrus, green, woody.
Black & White has a moderate sillage—it leaves a pleasant trail without becoming overwhelming. For the skin, 1–2 sprays are recommended; for clothing, use 2–3 sprays.
The fragrance is perfect for everyday wear, especially during the spring and summer months.
If you enjoyed Black & White, consider Guerlain Insolence Eau de Parfum, Mandarina Duck Black & Red, and Jil Sander Sun 30th Anniversary Edition.
These compositions also play with contrasts and deliver vivid sensations.
