Black joined the Max Philip portfolio in 2019. By character, a masculine fragrance drawing from the chypre and fruit families. Offered in eau de parfum concentration.
Produced in France, where perfumery has long been elevated to an art form. Black Max Philip unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.
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 note pyramid of Black unfolds as a layered story, where layers reveal themselves with precision and warmth. The style of Max Philip comes through in the pacing of the notes and the overall aesthetic. Nothing here feels random, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail. Eau de parfum keeps a balanced rhythm of unfolding.
The olfactory framework is shaped by these accords: Citrus, Floral, Fruit and Musc with each one in a clear role. Background accords such as Wood, Amber and Spicy add depth to the backdrop. The stylistic positioning is masculine, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived.
At the opening of the pyramid you sense juicy fruity opening notes: Apple, Bergamot, Blackcurrant and Pineapple.
When the opening settles you detect Birch, Jasmine, Patchouli and Rose keeping a structural woody direction.
At the note-group layer the structure relies on Fruit, Citrus, Wood and Whiteflower. It also reaches into Floral, Ambery, Earthy / Mossy and Gourmet. At family level the fragrance belongs to Chypre and Fruit.
Overall Black sounds complete from start to finish — the opening sets direction, the middle layer carries the identity, and the base secures the trail. This is the type of composition best experienced on skin.
